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.

Understanding is a form of blindness. Good art, I think, can never be understood.

Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made - I try to act in the gap.

A newspaper that you're not reading can be used for anything; and the same people didn't think it was immoral to wrap their garbage in newspaper.

Photography is the most direct communication in non-violent contacts.

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

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
