The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.

Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light. Tragedy is the most ridiculous thing.

I am my own muse. I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to better.

I don’t like the gringos at all. They are very boring and all have faces like unbaked rolls.

Painting completed my life.

I never knew I was a surrealist till Andre Breton came to Mexico and told me I was.

I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy as long as I can paint.
