Probably one of the worst things that happened to photography is that cameras have viewfinders.

That should be the goal for all art, to be as simple as a flashcard.

A TWO-DIMENSIONAL SURFACE WITHOUT ANY ARTICULATION IS A DEAD EXPERIENCE

I always felt like I was right out of Dickens, looking in the window of the Christmas feast, but not at the feast.

I can't imagine a life without thinking, doing art. I don't feel any need to be a world traveler or an adventurer. I'm very happy doing what I'm doing. I think somehow I know that I should have a larger vision of art, but I can't think of what that would be.

A lot of ideas don't translate very well into art. To say, "Oh my god, the grass is green ..." You're going to end up with a big green painting.

It's human desire to be understood. And we always feel we're not understood.
