I never knew what I was doing until I was done.

Lipstick is the red badge of courage.

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.

I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive.

It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them.

All critics should be assassinated.

I have never painted a recent picture.
