I never wish for critics.

I decided that if my work contained what I could identify as a likeness to other work, I would remove it.

One works without thinking how to work.

Make something, a kind of object, which as it changes or falls apart (dies as it were) or increases in its parts (grows as it were) offers no clue as to what its state or form or nature was at any previous time. Physical and Metaphysical. Obstinacy. Could this be a useful object?

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.

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.

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