I have a timetable, but no routine.

Sometimes, when I've been staring too hard, I've noticed that I could see the circumference of my own eye.

A painter's tastes must grow out of what so obsesses him in life that he never has to ask himself what it is suitable for him to do in art.

The character of the artist doesn't enter into the nature of the art

The paintings that really excite me have an erotic element or side to them irrespective of subject matter

The paintings live because their creator has been passionately attentive to their theme, and his attention has left something for us to look at. It seems a sort of miracle.

Losing as much money as I can get hold of is an instant solution to my economic problems.
