The unity in any painter's work arises from the fact that a person, brought to a desperate situation, will behave in a certain way... style.

Real style is not having a program - it's how one behaves in a crisis.

I think that the very earliest influence was a horror of having to work in a bank or an office, a desire for a free and creative life.

I'm hoping to make a new thing for the world that remains in the mind like a new species of living thing.

Falsehood always punishes itself.

In addition to the artistic influences, I am influenced by my current private life, my feelings about it and my energy level and state of health.
