"Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly."

"Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love."

"No one but myself knows the anxiety I go through and the trouble I give myself…"

"I am chasing the merest sliver of color. It is my own fault, I want to grasp the intangible."

"I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel."
