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

I paint when I cannot photograph.

Oh, yes, I was a great retoucher. A retoucher is an esthetic surgeon !

My works were designed to amuse, annoy, bewilder, mystify and inspire reflection.

If I'd had the nerve, I'd have become a thief or a gangster, but since I didn't, I became a photographer.

The tricks of today are the truths of tomorrow.

All my life I have painted pictures so that certain people would drop dead when they looked at them, but I have not succeeded yet. The worst painting cant hurt you, but a bad driver can kill you, a bad judge can send you to the chair, a bad politician can ruin an entire country, That is why even a bad painting is sacred.
