I'm the little dog who goes the wrong way - under the hoop.

The satirical direction I have chosen is an indication of my disappointment in man, which is the opposite way of saying that I have high expectations for the human race.

I wish there was a painter who could paint as well as Ted Williams could hit.

Ah, but it's nice to be in the opposition, nice to be a bone in somebody's throat.

I am primarily concerned with the condition of man.

As far as I'm concerned, I want to remain the mean little man I always was.

I'm an outsider.

Most artists like to think of themselves as rugged individualists, as independent characters.

It was a movement that had all the art critics, all the museum directors in its thrall.

Here we were, corrupting all those Russians toward communism.

This acting was very hard work.

Now painting is different. It's something recollected in tranquility.

Impulses are hard to come by these days.
