When you're ambitious, it's really hard to be supportive of other people. But it's our job to try, even though one gets jealous.

I want painting to be my flashlight.

Painting is a kind of call and response. During the act of painting one is listening, paying attention to a self, a voice simultaneously recognizable and foreign.

Painting is an investigation of being.

It is not the job of art to mirror. Images reflected in a mirror appear to us in reverse. An artist's responsibility is to reveal consciousness; to produce a human document.

Painting, like water, takes any form. Paint is a film of pigment on a plane. It is not real in the way that gravity-bound sculpture is real. It is, however, real.

The visible is how we orient ourselves. It remains our principal source of information about the world. Painting reminds us of what is absent. What we don't see anymore.

There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.

It is good to forget one's anger against one's wrongdoer, whoever he may be, for countless number of evils will quickly grow from this anger.

When you happy ,you get locked in sleep. You get sleepy happy. I always wanna be on point. I always wanna be aware.

When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, in that moment God will endow us with power.

I think the elites who have done nothing about it, who don't want a wall and don't care that the border is illegal, they see this as a threat.

Every minute we were together, I felt like I was wandering in the dark through a strange house, groping for a light switch. And then, whenever I found one and turned it on, the bulb was dead.
