Since I cannot sing, I paint.

My first memory is of the brightness of light — light all around.

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

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

One can't paint New York as it is, but rather as it is felt.

His letters ... have been like fine cold water when you are terribly thirsty.

I want real things ... music that makes holes in the sky.
