I'm always looking for relations between my work and the old masters.

I work with deadlines. It is terrible to be an artist where you are just producing work and nobody gives a damn. Nobody wants to show it.

Even though you're reading something, it's as though that person who wrote it is speaking to you. It's a form of conversation, really.

You know, there are some people who just don't - that cannot get comfortable behind the wheel of a car and always sort of think they're going to kill somebody.

The first place I try to go when I have free time is the museums. I'm a big museum person.

I certainly don't believe that people can read other people's minds.

ne thing you have to develop as an artist is a confidence in what you're doing and that you're right about it.
