I see something, find it marvelous, want to try and do it. Whether it fails or whether it comes off in the end becomes secondary. . . . So long as I've learned something about why.

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.

If we master a bit of drawing, everything else is possible.

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.

In every work of art the subject is primordial, whether the artist knows it or not. The measure of the formal qualities is only a sign of the measure of the artist's obsession with his subject; the form is always in proportion to the obsession.

The form is always the measure of the obsession.

When I see a head from a great distance, it ceases to be a sphere and becomes an extreme confusion falling down into the abyss.
