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 often find that having an idea in my head prevents me from doing something else. Working is therefore a way of getting rid of an idea.

Early on I was very involved with the notion of the painting as an object and tended to attack that idea from different directions.

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'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 tend to like things that already exist.

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