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.

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

I really feel sorry for people who think things like soap dishes or mirrors or Coke bottles are ugly, because they're surrounded by things like that all day long, and it must make them miserable.

I'm sure we don't read old paintings the way they were intended

I always have a good reason for taking something out but I never have one for putting something in. And I don't want to, because that means that the picture is being painted predigested.

I don't like masterpieces having one-night stands in collectors' homes between auctions.

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.
