One night I dreamed that I painted a large American flag, and the next morning I got up and I went out and bought the materials to begin it.

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 think that one wants from a painting a sense of life. The final suggestion, the final statement, has to be not a deliberate statement but a helpless statement. It has to be what you can't avoid saying.

I'm working in my mind.

There was very little art in my childhood.

One night I dreamed that I painted a large American flag, and the next morning I got up and I went out and bought the materials to begin it.

Art is either a complaint or appeasement.
