Everything Is Autobiographical And Everything Is A

I Always Felt That My Work Hadn't Much To Do With Art; My Admirations For Other Art Had Very Little Room To Show Themselves In My Work Because I Hoped That If I Concentrated Enough The Intensity Of Scrutiny Alone Would Force Life Into The Pictures. I Ignored The Fact That Art, After All, Derives From Art. Now I Realize That This Is The Case.

When I Look At A Body It Gives Me Choice Of What To Put In A Painting, What Will Suit Me And What Won't

It Is The Only Point Of Getting Up Every Morning: To Paint, To Make Something Good, To Make Something Even Better Than Before, Not To Give Up, To Compete, To Be Ambitious.

I Work From The People That Interest Me, And That I Care About, In Rooms That I Live In And Know. I Use The People To Invent My Pictures, And I Can Work More Freely When They Are There.

I Use The Gallery As If It Were A Doctor. I Come For Ideas And Help - To Look At Situations Within Painting, Rather Than Paintings.
