I don't like anything permanent; I have to be able to flee. You have to be able to flee at a moment's notice.

I don't like plots. I don't know what a plot means. I can't stand the idea of anything that starts in the beginning - you know, 'beginning, middle and end.'

I like the brooding man - a brooding man with a sense of humor.

I live in a small world of gouache and brush and pen and ink. I'd like to explore the world of multiples - etching and prints.

You'd have to be completely crazy not to be influenced by and take from other artists. It's completely impossible not to.

In any work you do, you can be profound one minute, and then you be superficial the next, and you can be smart and insightful and then insipid. There can be room for all that.
