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

To me, self-description is a calamity.

One works without thinking how to work.

A picture ought to be looked at the same way you look at a radiator.

One wants one's work to be the world, but of course it's never the world. The work is in the world; it never contains the whole thing.

I assumed that everything would lead to complete failure, but I decided that didn't matter – that would be my life.

There may or may not be an idea, and the meaning may just be that the painting exists.
