I decided to accept as true my own thinking.

Anyone who doesn't feel the crosses simply doesn't get that country.

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

I long ago came to the conclusion that even if I could put down accurately the thing I saw and enjoyed, it would not give the observer the kind of feeling it gave me. I had to create an equivalent for what I felt about what I was looking at-not copy it.

I don't very much enjoy looking at paintings in general. I know too much about them. I take them apart.

I had to create an equivalent for what I felt about what I was looking at - not copy it.

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