You want to keep it in there because you feel like it's yours but to be able to see that sometimes some stuff needs to go and I think it's for the benefit of the film.

I feel like there's too many paintings left unpainted that I just don't want to take the time away.

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

There are certain times I don't want my picture taken. If my wife's stepping out of a car and it looks like it's going to come out an indecent picture, don't I have a right to object?

I try to get out of an image's way in order to let it articulate what is hidden.

I really don't like take-out.

I'm not someone who likes to have my picture taken, let alone see it plastered all over the place.

I really enjoy squeezing out a big lump of paint directly onto the canvas and leaving it; fresh, immediate and sometimes shocking.

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

Sometimes I see it and then paint it. Other times I paint it and then see it. Both are impure situations, and I prefer neither.
