I am not what I am, I am what I do with my hands.

Art is a guarantee of sanity.

It is not a torment to be an artist. It is a privilege.

Surrealism is anathema for me. Because the surrealists made a joke of everything. And I consider life a tragedy.

To express your emotions, you have to be very loose and receptive. The unconscious will come to you if you have that gift that artists have. I only know if Im inspired by the results.

I have kept a diary as long as I can remember, and drawings are really another kind of diary.

An artist can show things that other people are terrified of expressing.
