There are certain times when a painting accelerates beyond you, and you have to try and understand and catch up with it.

The moment is never perfect. It's like that right now - in my head I'm being super lucid, but you never are. You're always fumbling.

The paintings are kind of set in the past, present, and future all at once.

I'm a quiet person, I'm not a flashy art world person. I'm in the studio in the middle of nowhere. There's sheep and fields. The work has to be authentic in that way.

Using painting as a metaphor for consciousness is what I'm interested in.

I felt like I had reached the end of a period of life, where the work was jumping about and pushing something new every time. I wanted to dial it back and create a language that was stable and deep.

There are things that inform the works, but that doesn't go anywhere near what you're actually looking at.

With discipline, you can lose weight, you can excel in work, you can win the war.

Motivation and determination for anything comes from within. One can not barrow it from someone else.

It takes a certain level of consciousness to 'want' to grow your consciousness.

You can give in to the failure messages and be a bitter deadbeat of excuses. Or you can choose to be happy and positive and excited about life.

The little religion that I have clung to-that what matters most is the continuity of life, and its improvement from one generation to another.

I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.

Man will never be enslaved by machinery if the man tending the machine be paid enough.

I have no television - I hate it.

It’s not enough to have talent. You also have to be Hungarian.

In the first place, you must pay great attention to the key note.
