The Goal In Life Is To Be

Even As A Kid In Drawing Class, I Had Real Ambition. I Wanted To Be The Best In The Class, But There Was Always Some Other Feller Who Was Better; So I Thought, It Cant Be About Being The Best, It Has To Be About The Drawing Itself, What You Do With It. Thats Kind Of Stuck With Me.

When It Comes To The British Monarchy, I Prefer To Be Seduced By An Image Than Presented With A Real Person. It's Kind Of A Warhol Thing.

You Can Always Tell A Great Painting, Because When You Get Close There Are All These Nervous Marks.

Since I Was A Child, Death Is Definitely Something That I Think About Every Day. But I Think That Everybody Does. You Try And Avoid It, But It's Such A Big Thing That You Can't.

I Think I've Always Been Afraid Of Painting, Really. Right From The Beginning. All My Paintings Are About Painting Without A Painter. Like A Kind Of Mechanical Form Of Painting. Like Finding Some Imaginary Computer Painter, Or A Robot Who Paints.
