Curiosity Is The Main Energy.

I Don't Think There's Anything Really Wrong With Influence Because I Think That One Can Use Another Man's Art As Material Either Literally Or Just Implying That They're Doing That, Without It Representing A Lack Of A Point Of View.

An Empty Canvas Is Full.

There Was A Whole Language That I Could Never Make Function For Myself; It Revolved Around Words Like 'tortured', 'struggle'. 'pain'.. .i Could Never See These Qualities In Paint - I Could See Them In Life And Art That Illustrates Life. But I Could Not See Such Conflicts In The Materials And I Knew That It Had To Be In The Attitude Of The Painter.

I Think A Painting Is More Like The Real World If It's Made Out The Real World.

I Want My Paintings To Look Like What's Going On Outside My Window Rather Than What's Inside My Studio.
