Discipline in art is a fundamental struggle to understand oneself, as much as to understand what one is drawing.

The important thing is somehow to begin.

I think, what has this day brought me, and what have I given it?

A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things, a poet in words, a musician by sounds.

All good art has contained both abstract and surrealist elements, just as it has contained both classical and romantic elements - order and surprise, intellect and imagination, conscious and unconscious. BOTH SIDES of the artist's personality must play their part.

I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.

I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
