Today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves. Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.

Love is friendship set to music.

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.

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

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.

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