There's nothing worse than people talking about theories and humor.

I suppose the good artists, the righteous artists, somehow manage to be exuberant, and the embarrassed artist has this idea that everybody has to stop being so excited, which I find so distasteful.

Just don't do things that depress you. I realized if it depresses me, then I just don't want to get close to it. If it brings me down, I just really can't get into it.

Painting is like being a lawyer and attacking a corporation.

Your style is who you are when you’re not trying to be clever or better than you actually are.
