I am only a public entertainer who understands his time.

The path to youth takes a lifetime.

People want to find a 'meaning' in everything and everyone. That's the disease of our age...

As an artist, all I need is my paints and brushes - and someone to drag me away when the canvas is done

There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into sun

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.

The fingerprints of the god who amused himself fashioning them - I can see them on any bone whatsoever.
