Sometimes technique works better than a whole lot of other things.

I don't have technique because I never learnt any.

You can practice to learn a technique, but I'm more interested in conceiving of something in the moment.

Oh yes, technique has definitely advanced. But you never advance without losing something en passant, and you lose it because you're paying so much attention to the new thing.

Technique is really personality. That is the reason why the artist cannot teach it, why the pupil cannot learn it, and why the aesthetic critic can understand it.

In almost every area of human endeavor, the practice improves over time. That hasn't been the case for teaching.

I don't feel that I have any great grasp of technique that I should pass along to people.

I don't get wrapped up in technique and the like.

Technique is what you fall back on when you run out of inspiration.
