I'm quite taken aback when I get something that appears to be technically a good photograph, because it's not necessarily my intention.

I want my paintings to look like what's going on outside my window rather than what's inside my studio.

I used to think of that line in Allen Ginsberg's 'Howl', about the 'sad cup of coffee'.. ..I have had cold coffee and hot coffee and lousy coffee, But I've never had a sad cup of coffee.

Art is a means to function thoroughly and passionately in a world that has a lot more to it than paint.

The artist's job is to be a witness to his time in history.

I don't like masterpieces having one-night stands in collectors' homes between auctions.

There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic painting.
