"I think the interesting thing about Rothko to me is that while he was very career conscious, very protective of his work, that nevertheless his passion and devotion to his work went way beyond career or anything else. And maybe the way he protected his work was as a result of his consciousness, you know, that he'll achieve something special. At any rate, I never thought of him as compromising in any way his work for the sake of career, or making work just to influence career. If there were two sides to him, I would say, if you wanted to make a distinction between self and ego-his self went into his work and his ego went into his career. But he didn't mix it up as far as his work went."
