“As far as visual art goes, it has to reveal something about reality that you can't really put into words. Any artist who can explain his work with words is not exactly on the right track. It's tough. You're always probing down in the dark and you reveal things to yourself as you do your art. People who use formulas or use their skill mainly just to make money -- I don't know how they can stand it. It must become very boring, I would think.”
