I'm very envious of the few artists who are any good and still do portraits.

I think that words are often extraneous to what I do.

My language is what I use, and if I lost that, I wouldnt be able to say anything.

Collecting has been my great extravagance. It's a way of being. I collect for the same reason that I eat too much-I'm one of nature's shoppers.

I never think that anything I do is courageous.

Passion lies between one mark and the next, and also within all of them.

I think words come between the spectator and the picture.
