I think that little by little I'll be able to solve my problems and survive.

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

People in general are scared to death of the war and all the exhibitions have been a failure, because the rich bitches don't want to buy anything.

I have never expected anything from my work but the satisfaction I could get from it by the very fact of painting and saying what I couldn't say otherwise.

I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.

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.

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