I feel as though the world is a friendly boy walking along in the sun.

I prefer images that are less specific, so there is room for everyone's imagination.

There was a whole language that I could never make function for myself in relationship to painting, and that was attitudes like tortured, struggle, pain.

And I think a painting has such a limited life anyway

You can't make either life or art, you have to work in the hole in between, which is undefined. That's what makes the adventure of painting.

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

Basically painting is total idiocy.
