Well, I have a very simple method of painting.

After all, we are not French and never can be, and any attempt to be so is to deny our inheritance and to try to impose upon ourselves a character that can be nothing but a veneer upon the surface.

Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again become great.

If the technical innovations of the Impressionists led merely to a more accurate representation of nature, it was perhaps of not much value in enlarging their powers of expression.

The only real influence I've ever had was myself.

I believe that the great painters with their intellect as master have attempted to force this unwilling medium of paint and canvas into a record of their emotions.

I guess I'm not very human. All I really want to do is paint light on the side of a house.
