I'd like to live as a poor man with lots of money.

The best calculation is the absence of calculation. Once you have attained a certain level of recognition, others generally figure that when you do something, it's for an intelligent reason. So it's really foolish to plot out your movements too carefully in advance. You're better off acting capriciously.

I try to paint what I have found and not what I look for. In art, intentions are of little importance.

Art is a leap into the dark.

It's insane how many Roman coins are being found! It's as if all Romans had holes in their pockets. They sowed coins wherever they went. Even in the fields. Maybe to grow money . . .

Art is a finger up the bourgeoisie ass.

What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas.
