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.

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.

I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.

What you have to do is break all the rules.

I do an awful lot of thinking and dreaming about things in the past and the future - the timelessness of the rocks and the hills - all the people who have existed there.

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 think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes. I see no reason for painting but that. If I have anything to offer, it is my emotional contact with the place where I live and the people I do.
