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

Modern art to me is nothing more than the expression of contemporary aims of the age that we're living in.

I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc. I prefer sticks, trowels, knives and dripping fluid paint or a heavy impasto with sand, broken glass or other foreign matter added.

On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting.

A method of painting is a natural growth out of a need. I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

The strangeness will wear off and I think we will discover the deeper meanings in modern art.
