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

I prefer to leave the paintings to speak for themselves.

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

I found I have to stay painting.

I have always wanted to make paintings that are impossible to walk past, paintings that grab and hold your attention. The more you look at them, the more satisfying they become for the viewer. The more time you give to the painting, the more you get back.

The craft of painting has virtually disappeared. There is hardly anyone left who really possesses it. For evidence one has only to look at the painters of this century.

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

Painting is not what my life is about, but it is very important to me, and I am very lucky to be able to give some time to it.

Painting's not important. The important thing is keeping busy.
