And I think a painting has such a limited life anyway
Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made - I try to act in the gap.
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.
There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic painting.
For me there is no difference between art and life.
Curiosity is the main energy.
