I Think If You Would

There Is Something Very Special About This Part Of The World [u.s], Which Is The Openness And The Curiosity And The Lack Of Prejudice And The Lack Of Generally Accepted Norms As To What Art Should Be And How An Artist's Career Should Go And All That.

It Would Be Very Tempting To Say That Why Paint Because We Have Michelangelo, We Have Leonardo [da Vinci], We Have All These Guys. Why Waste Your Time, Because Most Likely You're Not Going To Be On That Level Anyway.

Once You Get Over The First Hill, There Is Always A New, Higher One Lurking, Of Course.

When An Artist Works Today Or Whenever, It's Not About Creating Immortal Masterpieces, Because That's The One Thing We Don't Decide Ourselves.

I Can't Imagine How Many First Performances I've Done, Perhaps 500. Some Of Them Have Been Very Good, And Some Of Course Very Bad.
