One must act in painting as in life, directly.

I've reached the moment where the movement of my thought interests me more than the thought itself.

We are all born children- the trick is remaining one.

The quality of a painter depends on the amount of past he carries with him.

Because I cannot work except in solitude, it is necessary that I live my work and that is impossible except in solitude.

We didn't want to sign the painting itself, that would have interfered with the composition. And even later, for that reason or for another, I sometimes marked my canvases on the back. If you don't see my signature and the date, madam, it's because the frame is hiding it.

It means nothing to me. I have no opinion about it, and I don't care.
