Having To Be Different Is The Same

But I Was In Awe Of The Painters; I Mean I Was New In New York, And I Thought The Painting That Was Going On Here Was Just Unbelievable

I Never Allowed Myself The Luxury Of Those Brilliant, Beautiful Colors Until I Went To India And Saw People Walking Around In Them Or Dragging Them In The Mud. I Realised They Were Not So Artificial.

I Am Sick Of Talking About What And Why I Am Doing. I Have Always Believed That The Work Is The Word. Action Is Seen Less Clearly Through Reason. There Are No Shortcuts To Directness.

So That Ideas Of Sort Of Relaxed Symmetry Have Been Something For Years That I Have Been Concerned With Because I Think That Symmetry Is A Neutral Shape As Opposed To A Form Of Design.

I Don't Think There's Anything Really Wrong With Influence Because I Think That One Can Use Another Man's Art As Material Either Literally Or Just Implying That They're Doing That, Without It Representing A Lack Of A Point Of View.
