There is in art the notion of less is more, which is to say, you don't torture a painting that has already confessed.

You do not wake up one morning a bad person. It happens by a thousand tiny surrenders of self-respect to self-interest.

The artist gazes upon a reality and creates his own impression. The viewer gazes upon the impression and creates his own reality.

Seize every opportunity along the way, for how sad it would be if the road you chose became the road not taken.

It is a shame to see in the work of an artist the limitations of his critics.

As a general guideline, never marry anyone that you can't picture helping you go to the bathroom.

The artist's talent sits uneasy as an object of public acclaim, having been so long an object of private despair.
