I Refuse To Be In This World

Painting Is Always Strongest When In Spite Of Composition, Color, Etc., It Appears As A Fact, Or An Inevitability, As Opposed To A Souvenir Or Arrangement.

So That Ideas Of Sort Of Relaxed Symmetry Have Been Something For Years That I Have Been Concerned With Because I Think That Symmetry Is A Neutral Shape As Opposed To A Form Of Design.

But I Was In Awe Of The Painters; I Mean I Was New In New York, And I Thought The Painting That Was Going On Here Was Just Unbelievable

There Is No Reason Not To Consider The World As One Gigantic Painting.

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.
