From an artist's point of view, I always want to work with the writers I admire.

I don't want to be an artist that gets stuck doing one thing. I don't want to be an artist who people look back at and say, 'His early work was really great.'

I set my sights upon becoming the kind of artist who would make a contribution to art history.

When I say artist I mean the man who is building things - creating molding the earth - whether it be the plains of the west - or the iron ore of Penn. It's all a big game of construction - some with a brush - some with a shovel - some choose a pen.

There have been many different artists that have been inspirational. I suppose the question is directed to what was the reason why I went into fantasy illustration.

When I was younger I thought I was an artist, and inspiration would just come to me.

I have been known as the minimal and conceptual artist for over five decades. I think I haven't changed much.

We live in an age where the artist is forgotten. He is a researcher. I see myself that way.

I'm not the kind of artist who has an idea and then carries it out; it's more like I find what the idea was through doing the paintings.
