I hate flowers -- I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move.

Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

Sun-bleached bones were most wonderful against the blue - that blue that will always be there as it is now after all man's destruction is finished.

I had to create an equivalent for what I felt about what I was looking at - not copy it.
