"And in fact, towards the end of his life, his great sadness was that he couldn't break out of it even. He wanted a change and he had found something so personal, so meaningful to him that he couldn't break out of that. He couldn't say anything. He used to constantly complain about that. Yet, if you asked him how did he feel, he says, "I'm bored, bored. He sits in the studio says I'm bored." It was an exaggeration, but that was his attitude. I once asked him, and he admitted it, he said, it had been such a struggle to find himself … an image, a direction that he could feel that it was his own, that he couldn't give it up." - Jack Tworkov
