My concern is never art, but always what art can be used for.

You begin with the possibilities of the material.

I still have a struggle reading (dyslexia, fh) and so I don't read much.. ..Probably the only reason I'm painter is because I couldn't read yet I love to write, but when I write I know what I'm writing, but when I'm reading I can't see it, because it goes from all sides of the page at once. But that's very good for printmaking.

You have to have the time to feel sorry for yourself in order to be a good abstract expressionist.

There was a whole language that I could never make function for myself in relationship to painting, and that was attitudes like tortured, struggle, pain.

My art is about paying attention - about the extremely dangerous possibility that you might be art.

Curiosity is the main energy.
