If I keep coming back to a painting and there's a little something that bothers me, I know I'm not going to get away with it. I'm going to have to fix it, change it, whatever it is, to something that I'm comfortable with, that doesn't make me itch when I look at it.

People have their own ideas how about they should appear.

I almost always see what I didn't achieve, to a smaller or greater extent.

It took me a long time to stop thinking that someone else knew what a great painting was. I was never sure.

I like the computer! It's a gadget, and I love gadgets. But it's very complicated and I didn't think I'd have the time to learn.

We are creatures like everything else in our world.

I'm the expert when it comes to my paintings. I think all great painters have to have that confidence in what they are seeking and when they're getting there.
