I don't think about art when I'm working. I try to think about life.

The black person is the protagonist in most of my paintings. I realized that I didn't see many paintings with black people in them.

I want to make paintings that look as if they were made by a child.

Some days I can't get an idea, and I think, 'Man, I'm just washed up,' but it's just a mood.

My basic influence had probably been Peter Max.
