If all the ways I have been along were marked on a map and joined up with a line, it might represent a minotaur.

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.

The fingerprints of the god who amused himself fashioning them - I can see them on any bone whatsoever.

Computers are stupid.

The first half of life is learning to be an adult-the second half is learning to be a child.

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.

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