Most artists try to break your heart, or they accidentally break their own hearts.But I find the quietness in the ordinary much more satisfying.

Work is my joy... Work is my therapy, I don't know anybody who loves work as much as I do.

I like photographs of anything uninteresting. Maybe just two doors on a wall... The point is to be uninteresting.

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.

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

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.

I wouldn't use the same color in a picture in more than one place
