All critics should be assassinated.

To me, a painter, if not the most useful, is the least harmful member of our society.

I would photograph an idea rather than an object, a dream rather than an idea.

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

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

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

There is no progress in art, any more than there is progress in making love.
