I generally only paint people I know, I'm not a flatterer really.

I tried to be a house painter, but I couldn't stand all that paint all over me.

I'm not just painting for painting's sake. I want to be truthful.

I hate painting.

I don't paint. I am a hobbyist photographer, so I relate to the visual arts that way, but I'm not a painter.

I do house things. I paint. I do portraits. I also paint my house.

My responsibility isn't to paint a flattering portrait; my responsibility is to paint a real portrait, a true portrait.

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.

I found I have to stay painting.
