I don't own any of my own paintings because a Picasso original costs several thousand dollars and that's a luxury I cannot afford.

When I enter the studio, I leave my body at the door the way the Moslems leave their shoes when they enter the mosque, and I only allow my spirit to go in there and paint.

To model an object is to possess it.

I would like to manage to prevent people from ever seeing how a picture of mine has been done. What can it possibly matter? What I want is that the only thing emanating from my pictures should be emotion.

To find is the thing.

I work with few colors, what creates the illusion of quantity is that they fell in the right place.

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