The thing is, if you believe in the unconscious - and I do - there's room for all kinds of possibilities that I don't know how you prove one way or another.

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

Generally, I am opposed to painting which is concerned with conceptions of simplicity. Everything looks busy to me.

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

In my early work, I tried to hide my personality, my psychological state, my emotions. This was partly due to my feelings about myself and partly due to my feelings about painting at the time. I sort of stuck to my guns for a while but eventually it seemed like a losing battle. Finally one must simply drop the reserve.

Art is either a complaint or appeasement.

There may or may not be an idea, and the meaning may just be that the painting exists.
