Failure is my best friend. If I succeeded, it would be like dying. Maybe worse.

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

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

That's the terrible thing: the more one works on a picture, the more impossible it becomes to finish it.

All the sculptures of today, like those of the past, will end one day in pieces... So it is important to fashion ones work carefully in its smallest recess and charge every particle of matter with life.

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

If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldnt have to paint at all.
