I don't want the viewer to be able to peel away the layers of my painting like the layers of an onion and find that all the blues are on the same level.

This whole thing is like an onion. The more you peel, the more you cry.

All we have to do is to peel the shrines like an onion, and we will be with the king himself.

Acting is like peeling an onion. You have to peel away each layer to reveal another.

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.

Painting is the most magical of mediums. The transcendence is truly amazing to me every time I go to a museum and I see how somebody figured another way to rub colored dirt on a flat surface and make space where there is no space or make you think of a life experience.
