Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.

The secret of success is… to be fully awake to everything about you.

Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn't have any beginning or any end. He didn't mean it as a compliment, but it was.

Art is coming face to face with yourself.

I love America. It's got potential to be great again. But, really, it's not great right now.

I can't seem to keep my heart from leaking out of the cracks, like sand clutched in a fist.

I sort of pride myself in my dissatisfaction with my work. I've always been concerned with buying the hype, and having that make your performances suffer.

Morality and ethics are nothing but footballs, wherewith people, strong people play to win points.

No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds - November!
