I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.

It's no good saying I wished I could go out more, because I can't. But I don't bother about it too much.

I do believe that painting can change the world.

There's no need to believe what an artist says. Believe what he does; that's what counts.

Who's going to ask a painter to see a diploma? They'd say, 'Can I see your paintings?', wouldn't they?

Nature, never, never let's you down, it's not a cliché, nature isn't a cliché, pictures might be, but you can get tired of pictures.

Time is the great mystery anyway. And it's still the great mystery in the moving picture as well.
