I've not been cursed with talent, which could be a great inhibitor.

A pair of socks is no less suitable to make a painting with than wood, nails, turpentine, oil and fabric.

I prefer images that are less specific, so there is room for everyone's imagination.

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

But I was in awe of the painters; I mean I was new in New York, and I thought the painting that was going on here was just unbelievable

I never allowed myself the luxury of those brilliant, beautiful colors until I went to India and saw people walking around in them or dragging them in the mud. I realised they were not so artificial.

Every time I've moved, my work has changed radically.
