I got half-a-dozen paintings from that shattered plate.

I believe I would rather have Stieglitz like something - anything I had done - than anyone else I know.

I never knew [Alfred Stieglitz] to make a trip anywhere to photograph. His eye was in him, and he used it on anything that was nearby. Maybe that way he was always photographing himself.

I wish people were all trees and I think I could enjoy them then.

I like to convey the idea that art is important in everyday life.

I hate flowers - I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move.

So I said to myself-I'll paint what I see-what the flower is to me but I'll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking the time to look at it-I will make even busy New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers.
