I don't know how to organise thoughts. I don't know how to have thoughts.

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

There was very little art in my childhood.

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

I have no ideas about what the paintings imply about the world. I don't think that's a painter's business. He just paints paintings without a conscious reason.

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.

As one gets older one sees many more paths that could be taken. Artists sense within their own work that kind of swelling of possibilities, which may seem a freedom or a confusion.
