I Tend To Like Things That Already

I Have No Ideas About What The Paintings Imply About The World. I Don't Think That's A Painter's Business. He Just Paints Paintings Without A Conscious Reason.

In My Early Work, I Tried To Hide My Personality, My Psychological State, My Emotions. This Was Partly Due To My Feelings About Myself And Partly Due To My Feelings About Painting At The Time. I Sort Of Stuck To My Guns For A While But Eventually It Seemed Like A Losing Battle. Finally One Must Simply Drop The Reserve.

Whatever I Do Seems Artificial And False, To Me.

I'm Working In My Mind.

I Often Find That Having An Idea In My Head Prevents Me From Doing Something Else. Working Is Therefore A Way Of Getting Rid Of An Idea.
