There are these painterly things that happen while I'm working.

I'm always so sick of myself after a show.

What a funny thing painting is. The abstract painters always insist on their connection with the visible reality, while the so called figurative artists insist that what they really care about, is the abstract qualities of life.

My best works are erotic displays of mental confusions.. with intrusions of irrelevant information.

I do think that I'm not good at making pretty things. It doesn't come so naturally for me.

Painting doesn't freeze time. It circulates and recycles time like a wheel that turns. Those who were first might well be last. Painting is a very slow art. It doesn't travel with the speed of light. That's why dead painters shine so bright.

I moved to Holland because I wanted to see American art.
