“For a creative person, you need to feel inspired. And you don’t feel inspired every day. Maybe you have a hangover, or somebody tried to cheat you out of money, so you come in, and you’re grumpy. I can pull down a box of my old paintings and find a new idea. That’s another reason I keep them: because some ideas are dead ends in the project they’re in, but they’re not dead ends in others. They can be rekindled in a different way.”
