John Hoyland on being an artist:

"It's like being a god half the time and a murderer the rest of the time. You're creating a universe in the studio. You're trying to make something new in the world one minute, and the next you're cutting it up and lacerating it. You're tearing it, Sweating like a pig. Totally soaked. Painting is killer shit."
