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.

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

If you don't have trouble paying the rent, you have trouble doing something else; one needs just a certain amount of trouble.

Curiosity is the main energy.

Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made - I try to act in the gap.

Basically painting is total idiocy.

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.
