If the world really looks like that I will paint no more!
I would like to paint the way a bird sings.
I didn't become an impressionist. As long as I can remember I always have been one.
As for myself, I met with as much success as I ever could have wanted. In other words, I was enthusiastically run-down by every critic of the period.
Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.
What could be said about me...a man to whom only his painting matters? And of course his garden and his flowers as well.
