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.

Ideally, one should have more material than one can possibly cope with.

I go out each morning and draw. I can't really start a painting in the morning until I've done a drawing.

Falsehood always punishes itself.

It seems to me madness to wake up in the morning and do something other than paint, considering that one may not wake up the following morning.

I destroy things every day in the act of working and often recall a picture I had considered finished in order to rework it.

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.
