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

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

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.

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

I don't want a picture to look like something it isn't. I want it to look like something it is.

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

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.
