I Feel Sometimes An American Artist Must Feel, Like A Baseball Player Or Something - A Member Of A Team Writing American History.

In Art, One Idea Is As Good As Another. If One Takes The Idea Of Trembling, For Instance, All Of A Sudden Most Art Starts To Tremble. Michelangelo Starts To Tremble. El Greco Starts To Tremble. All The Impressionists Start To Tremble.

I Make Pictures And Someone Comes In And Calls It Art.

The Problem With Property Is That It Takes So Much Of Your Time.

I Paint The Way I Do Because I Can Keep On Putting More And More Things In - Like Drama, Pain, Anger, Love, A Figure, A Horse, My Ideas Of Space. It Doesn't Matter If It Differs From Mine, As Long As It Comes From The Painting, Which Has Its Own Integrity And Intensity.
