I'm not so facile that I can accomplish or find out what I want to know or explore enough of the possibilities and a way of making a painting, say, in just one painting or two paintings.

While my classmates were reading their textbooks, I drew in the margins.

An empty canvas is full.

Success is a worn down pencil.

You begin with the possibilities of the material.

And all of this, all these physical aspects of painting at that time excited me very much. You could do a picture in just black and white. I mean all the things, whether you're soliciting permission or not, do give you permission

There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic painting.
