I am an economic person; I judge the amount of work involved with the amount of worth attained.

If the affairs of the world were put in the hands of the screwball artists, it couldn’t be in a worse state than it is now !

When I saw I was under attack from all sides, I knew I was on the right track.

The streets are full of admirable craftsmen, but so few practical dreamers.

An original is a creation motivated by desire.

I have never painted a recent picture.

Thanks to my effort in the last 40 years, there has been more paper and film wasted.
