Basically Painting Is Total Idiocy.

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

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

It's So Easy To Be Undisciplined. And To Be Disciplined Is So Against My Character, My General Nature Anyway, That I Have To Strain A Little Bit To Keep On The Right Track.

I Used To Think Of That Line In Allen Ginsberg's 'howl', About The 'sad Cup Of Coffee'.. ..i Have Had Cold Coffee And Hot Coffee And Lousy Coffee, But I've Never Had A Sad Cup Of Coffee.

I Don't Think Of Myself As Making Art. I Do What I Do Because I Want To, Because Painting Is The Best Way I've Found To Get Along With Myself.
