It doesn't matter how the paint is put on, as long as something is said.

The secret of success is… to be fully awake to everything about you.

If people would just look at the paintings, I don't think they would have any trouble enjoying them. It's like looking at a bed of flowers, you don't tear your hair out over what it means.

A real friend is someone you say a sentence to and they know ten thousand words behind that sentence.

The painter locks himself out of his own studio. And then has to break in like a thief.

It [abstract art] should be enjoyed just as music is enjoyed after a while you may like it or you may not.

I'm very representational some of the time, and a little all of the time. But when you're painting out of your unconscious, figures are bound to emerge.
