By the time you establish your priorities, there really isn't any fun or need to interest yourself in what you're doing. And this I find disastrous.

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

Success is a worn down pencil.

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

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

Well, I like way downtown near the Battery. I lived down there at this time and for, I guess, the following well, this is where I moved to uptown and I've been here for four years and this is 1965.

There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic painting.
