For me there is no difference between art and life.

I usually work in a direction until I know how to do it, then I stop, At the time that I am bored or understand - I use those words interchangeably - another appetite has formed.

Screwing things up is a virtue. Being correct is never the point. I have an almost fanatically correct assistant, and by the time she re-spells my words and corrects my punctuation, I can't read what I wrote. Being right can stop all the momentum of a very interesting idea.

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

Basically painting is total idiocy.

It is impossible to have progress without conscience

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