I'm very representational some of the time, and a little all of the time. But when you're painting out of your unconscious, figures are bound to emerge.

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 hardly ever stretch the canvas before painting.

It [abstract art] should be enjoyed just as music is enjoyed after a while you may like it or you may not.

My painting does not come from the easel.

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