Basically Painting Is Total Idiocy.

There Was A Whole Language That I Could Never Make Function For Myself; It Revolved Around Words Like 'tortured', 'struggle'. 'pain'.. .i Could Never See These Qualities In Paint - I Could See Them In Life And Art That Illustrates Life. But I Could Not See Such Conflicts In The Materials And I Knew That It Had To Be In The Attitude Of The Painter.

One Has To Believe In What One Is Doing, One Has To Commit Oneself Inwardly, In Order To Do Painting. Once Obsessed, One Ultimately Carries It To The Point Of Believing That One Might Change Human Beings Through Painting. But If One Lacks This Passionate Commitment, There Is Nothing Left To Do. Then It Is Best To Leave It Alone.

I Prefer Images That Are Less Specific, So There Is Room For Everyone's Imagination.

I'm Quite Taken Aback When I Get Something That Appears To Be Technically A Good Photograph, Because It's Not Necessarily My Intention.

I Don't Want A Picture To Look Like Something It Isn't. I Want It To Look Like Something It Is.
