I really have a lot of stuff in my head; if only there were insurance companies for that as there are for so many things.

I would have been in mortal misery all my life for fear my wife might say, "That's a pretty little thing," after I had finished a picture.

The frame is the pimp of painting; it enhances it, but it must never shine at the painting's expense.

So that's the telephone? They ring, and you run.

A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness, and some fantasy. When you always make your meaning perfectly plain you end up boring people.

I'm glad I haven't found my style yet. I'd be bored to death.

Drawing is not the same as form, it is a way of seeing form.
