1. "Talent is a double-edged sword. What you are given is not really yours. What you work at, what you struggle for, what you have to take command of -- that often makes for very good art." -- Paul Schimmel
2. "I don't care about an artist's intentions. I care if the work looks like it might have some consequences." -- Dave Hickey
3. "You have to find something that is true to yourself as a person -- some non-negotiable core that will get you through a 40-year practice." -- W. E. Jones
4. "An artist thinks about culture through visual means." -- Thomas Lawson. I might shorten it up a bit: An artist thinks through visual means. I'm not sure it's necessary to specify the subject matter of the artist's visual thoughts. Or confine those thoughts to culture.
5. "I'm a painter and I know that painting is not about talking." Thank you.
