The process is only a means to an end-creating the painting I want. It doesn't mean anything itself. It's only a way of creating a result.

I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.

When I'm painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It's only after a get acquainted period that I see what I've been about. I've no fears about making changes for the painting has a life of its own.

My paintings do not have a center, but depend on the same amount of interest throughout.

I am doubtful of any talent, so whatever I choose to be, will be accomplished only by long study and work

He drove his kind of realism at me so hard I bounced right into nonobjective painting.

It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.
