You can't have a good bullfight without a good bull.

Can I find a poetic that can be subversive enough to grab people in some subliminal way, to where they feel that they are altered and have had an experience that belonged to them?

I think that truth is stranger than fiction, and it's nice to know the people you're making a movie about.

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

Some people might think that the paintings are involved with a mythic - not just subject matter - but a certain sort of physical space that the paintings occupy...like personages.

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

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