I love art because it doesn't have rules like baseball. The only rule is to be good. That's the toughest thing to do.

Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters.

You only do exercises in art school. That's not the real thing. A little bit tells you so much. You have to find your own self. And you don't know what you are! But that's what you have to search for.

Every time I talked about making a picture I didn't do it. I had already done it - talking about it! I quit talking.

I just don't know what makes a picture, really - the thing that makes it is something unique, as far as I can understand. Just like one guy can write a sentence and it's beautiful and another one can write it and it's dead. What the difference is, I don't know.

I can't say what makes a picture. I can't say. It's mysterious.

I like the simple things. I don't know why. I'm that way. I came from a simple place.
