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.

I am not strong on perfection.

In the place where I was a child, there were no artists and there was no art, so I really didn't know what that meant. I think I thought it meant that I would be in a situation different than the one that I was in.

It's simple, you just take something and do something to it, and then do something else to it. Keep doing this, and pretty soon you've got something.

I think a painting should include more experience than simply intended statement.

To do a drawing for a painting most often means doing something very sketchy and schematic and then later making it polished.

I'm working in my mind.
