Nov 07, 2020

Work takes different forms. I can spend two or three days without completing anything, and it's choppy: it's filled with all kinds of irrationalities and stupid actions. I have some notion, and then I drop it because something else comes along. I'm forever darting from one side of the room to the other.

Nov 07, 2020

I knew I wanted to be some kind of artist from about 12. I met a neighbour who drew cartoons, and I had an idea I wanted to be a cartoonist - or something that involved Indian ink, at any rate.

Day

Nov 07, 2020

I'd read about Los Angeles and this fact stuck in my mind: that the city gained 1,000 new people every day. In 1956! A thousand people every day! I felt: 'I want to be part of that.'

Nov 07, 2020

The big pay-off was to work as an artist and gain some shred of respect from your friends, who were also artists. But there was never any notion that you could make a living out of art. On the rare occasions you had a gallery show, and sold a little work, well, that was just gravy.

Hope

Nov 07, 2020

Traveling to Europe and traveling in the U.S.A. was a much different experience. 'On the Road' exemplified everything glamorous that was happening on this side of the planet. The book puts off some kind of sweet melody - part hope for the world, part nostalgic.

Come

Nov 07, 2020

The difference between psychedelia and digitalia ages will seem like a smooth blending in years to come and will be a mere blip on the screen.

Media
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't do social media of any kind. If I did, I may as well join Scientology.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't watch TV, so I feel like I'm left out of the American fabric or something.

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

People refuse to believe that I've never been to Starbucks or Disneyland.

American
|
Nov 07, 2020

All my artistic response comes from American things, and I guess I've always had a weakness for heroic imagery.

Like

Nov 07, 2020

When you're on a highway, viewing the western U.S. with the mountains and the flatness and the desert and all that, it's very much like my paintings.

Drive
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was attracted to the concept of Hollywood and the lifestyle here. But I've grown to mistrust it because it has changed. I didn't bargain for digital access parking in some concrete structure. Real heaven for me was to drive somewhere and park right in front. Now the city is going vertical.

Inspiration
|
Nov 07, 2020

I travel a lot, but I don't come away with new inspiration.

House
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I paint a picture of a house, that goes back to my roots.

Change
|
Nov 07, 2020

Basically everything I've done in art, I was in possession of when I was 20 years old. I use a waste retrieval method of working. I'll go back and use something that disgusted me 15 years ago but that I had enough sense to think about. Some artists change dramatically. I see my work more like history being written.

Nov 07, 2020

As an artist, I gotta stand up to my own work.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

My friends and neighbors were always fixing their cars. Soldiers who felt restless wanted to work on something, and they understood cars. Me, I like to look at cars but I was never really a mechanic.

Drive
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I drive, I check out everything I see, and just taking in all those observations helps me think. So I draw and write a lot as I drive, and I know that's dangerous, but I manage to do it off to the side, with my notes on the seat.

Clouds
|
Nov 07, 2020

Traveling is irritating to me, but not driving. Going to the airport makes me nervous, but when I set out to just take a leisurely drive, it's blue skies and puffy clouds and time.

Nov 07, 2020

The one thing I miss is hitchhiking. Now there's no more of that. When's the last time you saw a hitchhiker? It's not that I consider it a great sport, but it was my way of seeing the country. The open road, especially in the western United States, is still very pristine, but everything else around it has changed.
