Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made - I try to act in the gap.

I'm not so facile that I can accomplish or find out what I want to know or explore enough of the possibilities and a way of making a painting, say, in just one painting or two paintings.

An empty canvas is full.

There was something about the self-confession and self-confusion of Abstract expressionism - as though the man and the work were the same - that personally always put me off because at that time my focus was in the opposite direction.

You wait until life is in the frame, then you have the permission to click. I like the adventure of waiting until the whole frame is full.

Being right can stop all the momentum of a very interesting idea.

I really feel sorry for people who think things like soap dishes or mirrors or Coke bottles are ugly, because they're surrounded by things like that all day long, and it must make them miserable.
