It's simple, you just take something and do something to it, and then do something else to it. Keep doing this, and pretty soon you've got something.

In my early work, I tried to hide my personality, my psychological state, my emotions. This was partly due to my feelings about myself and partly due to my feelings about painting at the time. I sort of stuck to my guns for a while but eventually it seemed like a losing battle. Finally one must simply drop the reserve.

When something is new to us, we treat it as an experience. We feel that our senses are awake and clear. We are alive.

I have meant what I have done. Or I have often meant what I have done. Or I have sometimes meant what I have done. Or I have tried to mean what I was doing.

To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist.

I love drawings, so I've always enjoyed making drawings that exist on their own.

Merce is my favorite artist in any field.
