I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.

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

It's not what the artist does that counts; it's what he is.

Rhythm is a perception of time... when drawing, the tiredness of the hand is a rhythm.

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.

Museums are just a lot of lies, and the people who make art their business are mostly imposters. We have infected the pictures in museums with all our stupidities, all our mistakes, all our poverty of spirit. We have turned them into petty and ridiculous things.

In art intentions are not sufficient and, as we say in Spanish, love must be proved by deeds and not by reasons. What one does is what counts and not what one had the intention of doing.
