For me context is the key - from that comes the understanding of everything.
I've also been willing to share any help that I could give to any other artist.
Pollock was well known, certainly, but for all the wrong reasons. He was known as much for being wild and unconventional in his working methods as for being a great artist.
Usually I throw away what I don't get right the first time.
With artists of my own generation there was at first no group identity - and never a clique.
Context begins with other artists - seniors and mentors.
