Teaching I realized took up a lot of my time. I was a kind of a teacher that spent time with students, spoke to them after class, tried to help them out. I'd talk with them personally about their work and try to get out of them what they were thinking about, forcing them to thinking seriously and not just falling back on all the ideas that they had picked up someplace. And so I took my job teaching very seriously and that - as a result, it took up a lot of time.

I always had a fairly decent income, coming in just from the art.

I was a filmmaker. I made movies. I made films. And I always took photos and made films, always from the beginning.

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

I liked the idea of the words floating in space and the space behind it moving all the time, ever changing.

I think I feel much more at home in studio.

Whatever came out came out. That was it. That's what you live with. If you don't like it, that's your problem.
