People like me, who care about printing, constitute the tiniest lunatic fringe in the nation.

I think it has other roots, has to do, in part, with a general anxiety in contemporary life... nuclear bombs, inequality of possibility and chance, inequality of goods allotted to us, a kind of general racist, unjust attitude that is pervasive.

The art schools... you get young kids doing the most vile and meaningless crap. I think they believe every bit of it.

There is, however, a change going on in the world. There's far more interest in drawing now than there has been in a long, long time. Schools are beginning to teach drawing again in a serious and meaningful way.

I always felt I needed to teach to survive.

I think there is an element of nihilism about, but I don't think most artists feel their work is meaningless.

But I think doctors have always been either honest or dishonest.
