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 paint and sculpt to get a grip on reality... to protect myself.

I don't know if I work in order to do something, or in order to know why I can't do what I want to do.

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

When you look at art made by other people, you see what you need to see in it.

All I can do will only ever be a faint image of what I see and my success will always be less than my failure or perhaps equal to the failure.

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