I've Not Been Cursed With Talent, Which

I Want My Paintings To Look Like What's Going On Outside My Window Rather Than What's Inside My Studio.

I Always Have A Good Reason For Taking Something Out But I Never Have One For Putting Something In. And I Don't Want To, Because That Means That The Picture Is Being Painted Predigested.

I Am Sick Of Talking About What And Why I Am Doing. I Have Always Believed That The Work Is The Word. Action Is Seen Less Clearly Through Reason. There Are No Shortcuts To Directness.

I Really Feel Sorry For People Who Think Things Like Soap Dishes Or Mirrors Or Coke Bottles Are Ugly, Because They're Surrounded By Things Like That All Day Long, And It Must Make Them Miserable.

With Me, It's Much More A Matter Of Accepting Whatever Happens, Accepting All These Elements From The Outside And Then Trying To Work With Them In A Sort Of Free Collaboration.
