Success is a worn down pencil.

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.

And I think that even today, New York still has more of this unexpected quality around every corner than any place else. It's something quite extraordinary

I am sick of talking about What and Why I am doing. I have always believed that the WORK is the word. Action is seen less clearly through reason. There are no shortcuts to directness.

I don't think any one person, whether artist or not, has been given permission by anyone to put the responsibility of the way things are on anyone else

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

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