I have no ideas about what the paintings imply about the world. I don't think that's a painter's business. He just paints paintings without a conscious reason.

Generally, I am opposed to painting which is concerned with conceptions of simplicity. Everything looks busy to me.

I love drawings, so I've always enjoyed making drawings that exist on their own.

I’m interested in things which suggest the world rather than express the personality... The most conventional thing, the most ordinary - it seems to me that those things can be dealt with without having to judge them; they seem to me to exist as clear facts, not involving aesthetic hierarchy.

I assumed that everything would lead to complete failure, but I decided that didn't matter – that would be my life.

I'm not looking for images, They just appear and take on an interest. Sometimes you look at a thing and it has no interest and then you see it in a different way and it has another meaning. Or something that was of no use will become useful.

I am not strong on perfection.
