With monochrome painting... the idiosyncrasy of the work, its difference, its expression, lies in shape.

My work is not repetition. It is an exploration.

I'm interested in the movement of the eyes across the painting.

In a way, the blank canvas... represents the infinity of trying to use color to express emotions - to assign a linguistic function to color.

Anything is of course inexhaustible, because at each moment the brain has a different pattern to construct.

Just as with the quartet, each part of a painting is telling a different story.

Seeing is looking at something in saturation. But we tend to look at something for, say, 1/30 of a second.

The question of painting is bound up with epistemology, with the engagement of the viewer, with what the viewer may learn.

It's impossible to just localize your perceptions - because the stimuli come from both eyes.

We tend to be judged because of our actions.

The ghosts of things that never happened are worse than the ghosts of things that did.

Leadership is influence.

If the world operates as one big market, every employee will compete with every person anywhere in the world who is capable of doing the same job. There are lots of them and many of them are hungry

Evaluation by others is not a guide for me.

A man who has to be convinced to act before he acts is not a man of action. You must act as you breathe.

California is full of Mexican culture and Mexican music.

I was touched by the magic of music. My way to communicate was through my guitar and music.

A wise man will live as much within his wit as within his income.

No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion.
