Sometimes I really want to paint somebody and I don't get a photograph that I want to work from.
Chuck CloseCover the canvas at the first go, then work at it until you see nothing more to add.
Camille PissarroMuseums are for dead artists. I'd never show my work in the Tate. You'd never get me in that place.
Damien HirstI give thanks everyday that I've been able to take my craziness and make it work for me.
Fritz ScholderLook at it this way - a totem pole is just a decorated tree. My work is a confessional.
Louise BourgeoisAssuming roles is something that simply won't work for me, since I don't have a style. None at all.
Martin KippenbergerThose that don't believe how small my work is should just come along and see it for themselves.
