I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.

The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?

I paint what I see, not what a camera would see.

Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.

I'll never have enough time to paint all the pictures I'd like to.

I swear if I had to do this over again, I would just do the paintings and never show them.

I don't very much enjoy looking at paintings in general. I know too much about them. I take them apart.

I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive.

I want to paint big, bright, optimistic pictures of the place I love.

If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldn't have to paint at all.
