Intention involves such a small fragment of our consciousness and of our mind and of our life.

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

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.

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

One works without thinking how to work.

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.

In the place where I was a child, there were no artists and there was no art, so I really didn't know what that meant. I think I thought it meant that I would be in a situation different than the one that I was in.
