I've done a lot of bad things in the past, and that troubles me. It is often before I could say I was a self.

The idea is to have no idea. Get lost. Get lost in the landscape.

The idea of the self interests me a great deal. What is the self? And finding yourself, and which self? In a way, we're more than one self, but you somehow try to get to a rock bottom self.

Psychoanalysis comes down to the process itself - the self, and life. I think I can say that I'm friends with the unconscious life, but I've never tried to make a painting directly from a dream.

Girls seemed to like artists! I felt very drawn to the idea of power, really, and doing painting as a power trip, in a sense. This idea of power has always driven me.

Art is a great means of self-discovery. One of the things that appealed to me in the beginning was that it was a great way to get girlfriends.

The paintings have a lot to do with the idea of seeing and doing, and the relationship between your hand and your eye, and the object.
