The performance on the stage has its reasons in the performance induced in thousands of separate minds and this second performance is no less prodigious than the first.

I never lost the taste and craft of the Renaissance.

I always use given and simple elements, I don't want to add or subtract anything.

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.

Prodigy only feeds on prodigy, fantasy on fantasy.

I never tried to stage, to fabricate an image.

I call prodigy all that is invented, all that begins to exist from the second it is conceived, it is the process not the results, the principle and not the fruits.
