When you make a thing, a thing that is new, it is so complicated making it that it is bound to be ugly. But those that make it after you, they don't have to worry about making it. And they can make it pretty, and so everybody can like it when others make it after you

Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.

There is only one way to see things, until someone shows us how to look at them with different eyes

A painting only lives in the eye of the beholder

Bad artists copy. Good artists steal.

To know what you’re going to draw, you have to begin drawing... When I find myself facing a blank page, that’s always going through my head. What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas.

I paint what I think, not what I see.
