When you take a flower in your hand

and really look at it, it’s your world

for the moment. You get whatever

accomplishment you are willing to

declare. Nobody sees a flower really;

it is so small. We haven’t time and

to see takes time. I hate flowers—

I paint them because they are cheaper

than models and they stand still.

I take them apart.

I know too much about them.
