I don't know how to organise thoughts. I don't know how to have thoughts.

Art is either a complaint or appeasement.

I’m interested in things which suggest the world rather than express the personality... The most conventional thing, the most ordinary - it seems to me that those things can be dealt with without having to judge them; they seem to me to exist as clear facts, not involving aesthetic hierarchy.

One works without thinking how to work.

I think that one wants from a painting a sense of life. The final suggestion, the final statement, has to be not a deliberate statement but a helpless statement. It has to be what you can't avoid saying.

Generally, I am opposed to painting which is concerned with conceptions of simplicity. Everything looks busy to me.

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