“The quality I most loved in Warhol - it was his sense of wonder. I mean, he was - absolutely everything was, 'Oh my God, isn't that wonderful!'. You know, and so it wasn't that he was cool and kind of calculated at all. He was very childlike.”

“I have copies of the books my grandfather illustrated for Scribner's in each house. I read those books all the time.”

“To me, dance is so ethereal and elusive, so much of an illusion. After a performance, that's it. With vocals and music, you have good recordings.”

“Oddly enough, my grandfather probably had more of an influence on me than my father.”

“The real kiss of death - particularly with my father - is the extraordinary popularity of his work.”

“Painting is a field that attracts a lot of lazy people. You can just sort of sit and wait for things to come to you. I know a lot of painters who'll sit and chat it up all night. But God, I just can't do that.”

“Warhol had a huge effect on me. It wasn't that I sought it out. It was more of a natural evolution.”

“My father was a great inspiration, and there was a bit of competition between us. He'd work in his studio, and I'd work in my space, but the door was always half open.”

“I'm not just interested in fascinating faces or trees. I want to bore in deeper.”

“There's a quality of life in Maine which is this singular and unique. I think. It's absolutely a world onto itself.”
