I see paintings everywhere. I look at stuff and it looks like painting to me.

It's nice to see your name in print. It's interesting.

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

I think it's your own ghost, seeing the work and just thinking if it will be okay to leave that around.

There were some types of sanctions that happen in the public world that made my work acceptable, where someone looks at the paintings and they don't - they may go, "okay," and then look at it in a different sort of way. Instead of just looking at it as some type of wild art, they look at it in a historical perspective or context.

Making a painting is like playing the saxophone. You hit the note and it comes out.

Everything I've seen becomes real once it becomes memory. The films I've seen are interchangeable with things that have really happened to me.
