If you want to know about what's good in art, you should talk to an artist.

I relied mainly on other artists, who I think are smarter than critics, any critics or curators or anybody like that. They really know.

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

I do like certain kinds of frames for work. That's important.

And after a while, you just pare things down more and more and more, until you get to certain basic things which just - basic ideas which just seem to work for you over and over again.

I like the work hanging free in the frame. I don't like too much frame around it but I like a little breathing space around the piece.

I'm getting more and more into Chinese art and Japanese, some of those scroll paintings are amazing. You follow the change of the seasons. It's really something. These guys were great masters and of course the use of space.
