I know how pathetically inadequate my medium [painting] is, but unfortunately I dispose of no other.

For many years it was difficult for me to paint because I didn't feel the informal painting that was then tyrannically dominating painters and art collectors.

You begin looking at things and they look just fine, as normal as ever, but then you look for a while longer and your feelings get involved and they begin changing things for you and they go on and on till you only see your feelings, and that's why you see this mess.

I haven't even ever wanted to distort. I isolate and represent.

Only thanks to Pop Art, my painting has become understandable.

I am metaphysical inasmuch as I am looking for a non-eloquent painting, immobile and of atmosphere, which feeds on static situations.

I couldn't get used to the community and social life of a theatrical set designer.
