People say I use my billboard technique to make art. Baloney! I used my art technique to paint billboards.

I was probably born with the ability to draw, but that does not make you an artist.

Whenever I got a new studio I made the largest possible painting, and since the ceiling was low, the painting became horizontal. As I changed studios and got larger spaces, I made bigger paintings.

It all has meaning to me. As I explain my paintings, I hope that they get away from me, that the idea takes off and has a life of its own.

Have you ever watched anyone die? They are struggling for life and then they are dead and something seems to have left the room.. an electrical spark, a soul, I don't know what it is, but there is a cadaver left, and the spark is gone. That's very, very peculiar I think.

The idea of time is so peculiar. Dig, here we are, in a moment that will never happen again.
