An artist must forget painting when he paints. That's the only way he will do original work.

I like all paintings. I always look at the paintings, good or bad, in barbershops, furniture stores, provincial hotels. I'm like a drinker who needs wine. As long as it is wine, it doesn't matter which wine.

I never calculate. That is why those who do, calculate so much less accurately than I.

Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.

Good taste is the enemy of creativity.

I am only a public entertainer who understands his time.

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