"I think most paintings are a record of the decisions that the artist made. I just perhaps make them a little clearer than some people have."

People

"I wanted to translate from one flat surface to another. In fact, my learning disabilities controlled a lot of things. I don't recognize faces, so I'm sure it's what drove me to portraits in the first place."

Portrait

"I'm plagued with indecision in my life. I can't figure out what to order in a restaurant."

Life

"I did some pastels and I did other pieces in which there was just basically one color per square, and then they would get bigger and I could get 2 or 3 colors into the square, and ultimately I just started making oil paintings."

Colors

"You know, the way art history is taught, often there's nothing that tells you why the painting is great. The description of a lousy painting and the description of a great painting will very much sound the same."

Art

"What difference does it make whether you're looking at a photograph or looking at a still life in front of you? You still have to look."

Life

"I always thought that one of the reasons why a painter likes especially to have other painters look at his or her work is the shared experience of having pushed paint around."
