Doing What You Were Born To Do

My Paintings Are Certainly Nonobjective. They're Just Horizontal Lines. There's Not Any Hint Of Nature. And Still Everybody Responds, I Think.

The Minimalists Are Idealist. They Want To Minimise Themselves In Favour Of The Ideal. But I Just Can't. You See, My Paintings Are Not Cool. ... I'm Very Careful Not To Have Ideas, Because They're Inaccurate.

Pollock Was Terrific. I Think He Freed Himself Of All Kinds Of Worry About This World. Ran Around And Dripped, And Then He Managed To Express Ecstasy.

There's Nobody Living Who Couldn't Stand All Afternoon In Front Of A Waterfall .... Anyone Who Can Sit On A Stone In A Field Awhile Can See My Painting. Nature Is Like Parting A Curtain, You Go Into It .... As You Would Cross An Empty Beach To Look At The Ocean.

When You Look In Your Mind You Find It Covered With A Lot Of Rubbishy Thoughts. You Have To Penetrate These And Hear What Your Mind Is Telling You To Do. Such Work Is Original Work.
