I believe that art has a kind of rightness, as in music, when we hear whether or not a note is false

I don't create blurs. Blurring is not the most important thing; nor is it an identity tag for my pictures.

Art is the highest form of hope.

It is a danger to wait around for an idea to occur to you. You have to find the idea.

A lot of different things had to come together over the years, accumulated experiences of a general and personal nature, before the idea and the decision were developed and then carried out.

I like everything that has no style: dictionaries, photographs, nature, myself and my paintings. (Because style is violent, and I am not violent.)

I would like to try to understand what is. We know very little, and I am trying to do it by creating analogies. Almost every work of art is an analogy.

All photographs are far more important than any painting.

Picturing things, taking a view, is what makes us human; art is making sense and giving shape to that sense. It is like the religious search for God.

I want pictorial content without sentiment, but I want it as human as possible

Abstract pictures are fictive models, because they make visible a reality that we can neither see nor describe, but whose existence we can postulate.

If you don't build a personal brand, someone else will brand you with the wrong label.

People are like a pack of dogs sometimes. All right one by one, but together... together they do awful things they don't mean to do.

Nourish yourself so you can feed others.

I must have been heavily schizophrenic all my life. The me who hears what the other me can't play is the dominant one.

Barack Obama is incompetent. All he wants to do is campaign, and the last thing he wants to happen is to have Donald Trump terminate Obamacare.

it is not good to repudiate the dead because then they do not leave you alone, they are like dogs that bark intermittently at night.

When your home is perfect, every plant in place, every piece of furniture suits the space completely - you've completed a task.

Nature, by its very nature, is very brutal and unequal. However, Man has somehow managed to transform the nature of its brutality and inequality.

Our Father expects you to learn how to obtain that divine help by exercising faith in Him and His Holy Son, Jesus Christ.

The catalogue of miseries seems to cry out for commercial spots and a station break: the stuff of noonday soap opera.
