Inspiration Is For Amateurs.

I've Always Thought That Problem-solving Is Highly Overrated And That Problem Creation Is Far More Interesting.

I Don't Believe In Inspiration. Inspiration Is For Amateurs. Some Of The Time You Know You're Cooking, And The Rest Of The Time, You Just Do It.

I Think I Was Driven To Paint Portraits To Commit Images Of Friends And Family To Memory. I Have Face Blindness, And Once A Face Is Flattened Out, I Can Remember It Better.

Inspiration Is For Amateurs. The Rest Of Us Just Show Up And Get To Work. If You Wait Around For The Clouds To Part And A Bolt Of Lightning To Strike You In The Brain, You Are Not Going To Make An Awful Lot Of Work. All The Best Ideas Come Out Of The Process; They Come Out Of The Work Itself.

It's Always A Pleasure To Talk About Someone Else's Work.
