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

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

I often painted fragments of things because it seemed to make my statement as well as or better than the whole could.

My painting is what I have to give back to the world for what the world gives to me.

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

It always seems to me that so few people live - they just seem to exist and I don't see any reason why we shouldn't live always - til we die physically.

The abstraction is often the most definite form for the intangible thing in myself that I can clarify in paint.
