What I Always Longed To Do Was

...all Along I've Had An Ambivalent Relationship To Photography - But As To Whether I Thought It An Art Form, Or A Craft, Or A Technique, Well, I've Always Been Taken With Henry Geldzahler's Answer To That Question When He Said, I Thought It Was A Hobby.

But, I Would Always Be Thinking Of How Pictures Are Constructed And Colour, How To Use It, I Mean You're Using It For Constructing, Makes You Think About It, The Place Did As Well.

I Have Always Believed That Art Should Be A Deep Pleasure...ther E Is Always, Everywhere, An Enormous Amount Of Suffering. But I Believe My Duty As An Artist Is To Overcome And Alleviate The Sterility Of Despair...new Ways Of Seeing Mean New Ways Of Feeling... I Do Believe That Painting Can Change The World.

Always Live In The Ugliest House On The Street - Then You Don't Have To Look At It.

You Had To Be Aware That I Saw That Photography Was A Mere Episode In The History Of The Optical Projection And When The Chemicals Ended, Meaning The Picture Was Fixed By Chemicals, We Were In A New Era.
