I think, if one is a painter, all you experience does come out when you’re painting.

I need to be alone for certain periods of time or I violate my own rhythm.

I have never been able to understand the artist whose image never changes.

Painting... in which the inner and the outer man are inseparable, transcends technique, transcends subject and moves into the realm of the inevitable.

I like a canvas to breathe and be alive. Be alive is the point. And, as the limitations are something called pigment and canvas, let's see if I can do it.

As I say, I as an abstract artist was active politically.

The key is what is within the artist. The artist can only paint what she or he is about.
