It is impossible to do a thing the way I see it because the closer I get the more differently I see.

In a fire, between a Rembrandt and a cat, I would save the cat.

The head is what matters. The rest of the body plays the part of antennae making life possible for people and life itself is inside the skull.

Artistically I am still a child with a whole life ahead of me to discover and create. I want something, but I won't know what it is until I succeed in doing it.

I've been fifty thousand times to the Louvre. I have copied everything in drawing, trying to understand.

The more I work, the more I see things differently, that is, everything gains in grandeur every day, becomes more and more unknown, more and more beautiful. The closer I come, the grander it is, the more remote it is.

It was always disappointing to see that what I could really master in terms of form boiled down to so little.
