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.

One wants one's work to be the world, but of course it's never the world. The work is in the world; it never contains the whole thing.

My experience with life is that it's very fragmented. In one place certain kinds of thing occur, and in another place a different kind of thing occurs. I would like my work to have some vivid indication of those differences. I guess, in painting, it would amount to different kinds of space being represented in it.

I am just trying to find a way to make pictures.

To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist.

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

Merce is my favorite artist in any field.
