I was always very... impatient about showing my paintings to people.

I wanted to show painting paintings first, then the plate paintings; now I can show that I've sort of freed myself from stylistic inhibitions.

I think, basically, I'm an abstract artist. I just think that that's not even an issue. I think everything's abstract.

There's been too much attention on marketing. Can't we just talk about the paintings?

I don't know if I could, like, see a face and know what the face of beauty looks like, but after I've seen it I know if I've felt like it was beauty.

I think not knowing what to think of your paintings is a good place to be.

I don't think the meaning in my paintings comes from just using broken dishes.
