You don't make art, you find it

We have a lot of reasons but only one real one.

One starts to get young at the age of sixty and then it is too late.

When you begin a picture you often make some pretty discoveries. You must be on guard against these. Destroy the thing, do it over several times. In each destroying of a beautiful discovery, the artist does not really suppress it, but rather condenses it, makes it more substantial. What comes out in the end is the result of discarded finds. Otherwise you become your own connoisseur.

If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.

If you are trying to find something, it means you haven't got it. And if you find it simply by looking for it, that means it's false.

They are not men, they are not women, they are Americans.
