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

I'm quite taken aback when I get something that appears to be technically a good photograph, because it's not necessarily my intention.

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.

So that ideas of sort of relaxed symmetry have been something for years that I have been concerned with because I think that symmetry is a neutral shape as opposed to a form of design.

You have to have the time to feel sorry for yourself in order to be a good abstract expressionist.

I think a painting is more like the real world if it's made out the real world.

Very quickly a painting is turned into a facsimile of itself when one becomes so familiar with with it that one recognizes it without looking at it.
