I'm not at all interested in painting the object just as it is in nature. Certainly I'm much more interested in the mood of a thing than the truth of a thing.

I've tried never to be easily satisfied, and I've been painting like fury now for forty years.... I have a feeling. You paint about as far as your emotions go, and that's about it.

Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.

It's a moment that I'm after, a fleeting moment, but not a frozen moment.

I can't work completely out of my imagination-I must put my foot in a bit of truth-and then I can fly free.

I am not a juicy painter.

Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.
