When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing.

It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

The process is only a means to an end-creating the painting I want. It doesn't mean anything itself. It's only a way of creating a result.

I've been thinking of death a lot, and I am amazed by its inevitability, frightened, as we all are, of the totally unknown, and yet feel a long sleep is somehow earned by those of us who live on the edge.

Today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves. Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.

I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.
