Everything that I saw became something to be made, and it had to be exactly as it was, with nothing added. It was a new freedom: there was no longer the need to compose. The subject was there already made, and I could take from everything. It all belonged to me: a glass roof of a factory, with its broken and patched panels, lines on a road map, a corner of a Braque painting, paper fragments in the street. It was all the same: anything goes.

My forms are geometric, but they don't interact in a geometric sense. They're just forms that exist everywhere, even if you don't see them.

Shape and color are my two strong things. And by doing this, drawing plants has always led me into my paintings and my sculptures.

Geometry is moribund. I want a lilt and joy to art.

I did not want windows, only skylights. I chose my painting wall as it has the best morning light.

In drawing, I don't erase. I believe the original gesture has to be the best.
