I think the job of artists is to stir things up.

We are going to finish this picture just the way I want it... because you cannot compromise an artist's vision.

Artists need to express.

There's something in music that fascinates me - how it communicates emotion so immediately. That's something I wanted in my paintings.

Part of being an artist is being willing to be shocked, being willing to be surprised, being willing to be hurt.

I'm an artist at heart.

You're going to react to a painting in a way that the painting demands you react.

As an artist, it's possible to get tired of yourself.
