Bad Artists Copy. Good Artists Steal.

What I Capture In Spite Of Myself Interests Me More Than My Own Ideas.

When I Am Told I Am Too Old To Do Something, I Try To Do It Right Away.

Painting Isn't An Aesthetic Operation; It's A Form Of Magic Designed As Mediator Between This Strange Hostile World And Us.

The More Technique You Have, The Less You Have To Worry About It. The More Technique There Is, The Less There Is.

What I Have To Do Is Utilize As Best I Can The Ideas Which Objects Suggest To Me, Connect, Fuse, And Color In My Way The Shadows They Cast Within Me, Illumine Them From The Inside. And Since Of Necessity My Vision Is Quite Different From That Of The Next Man, My Painting Will Interpret Things In An Entirely Different Manner Even Though It Makes Use Of The Same Elements.
