I feel most real to myself in the studio.

In the brush doing what it is doing, it will stumble on what one could not do by oneself.

It may be that the deep necessity of art is the examination of individual's and society's self-deception.

The public's appetite for famous people is a mouth as big as a mountain.

Nothing as drastic an innovation as abstract art could have come in to existence, save as the consequence of a most profound, relentless, unquenchable need. The need is for felt experience - intense, immediate, direct, subtle, unified, warm, vivid, rhythmic.

It's not that the creative act and the critical act are simultaneous. It's more like you blurt something out and then analyze it.

Wherever art appears, life disappears.
