"You know, what I wanted was really abstract. Can't be about nature, or this world. (Pause.) We have a lot of really abstract emotions not caused by anything in this world. You can wake up in the morning and you are happy. Extraordinarily happy with no traceable cause. That's an abstract experience. There's a whole range of delicate emotions that nobody pays any attention to. I hope when people look at my paintings – and they're just horizontal lines – but they do respond to my work. Even though it's so simple, they respond emotionally. And they see that it's happy. And there's a very delicate emotion called tranquility. When you stop, and you rest, and come to an absolute stop. And that's when tranquility takes over."
