When I've painted a woman's bottom so that I want to touch it, then [the painting] is finished.
I've never let one day go by without painting, or at least without drawing.
People love to be nice, but you must give them the chance.
An artist must eat sparingly and give up a normal way of life.
What is to be done about these literary people, who will never understand that painting is a craft and that the material side comes first? The ideas come afterwards, when the picture is finished.
It's with my brush that I make love.
