I think there are a lot of pictures to make. I sometimes question whether I'm even an artist or just a painter. To me, the making of the pictures is the most important thing.

Like a guide dog, paintings help you see.

I don't jog. It makes the ice jump right out of my glass.

I had a teacher in art school who said something about the only works he really enjoyed seeing or found much in were works where he had a sense that a discovery was made in the course of making this object. I like to hold to that as my marching orders.

You'd be surprised at how undemanding acting is

What's the point of cleaning up your act if you don't have an act?

I never stopped making pictures. There were times when more of my income was coming from other sources, and I had to devote more time to television and movies and records.
