When I work I relax; doing nothing or entertaining visitors makes me tired.

There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Good designers copy; great designers steal.

I do not evolve, I am.

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.

Cubism is not a reality you can take in your hand. It's more like a perfume, in front of you, behind you, to the sides, the scent is everywhere but you don’t quite know where it comes from.
