I don't like knowing. I don't do a definitive, absolute study and carefully fill it in…I've learned to digest everything in my head and sort of memorize it and I read a lot and so I just lock it all in…I mean when I start painting a painting I am inside of this, I am not painting it literally from the outside, it's something that's happening and it dictates what I do.
