Basically painting is total idiocy.

Understanding is a form of blindness. Good art, I think, can never be understood.

Work is my joy... Work is my therapy, I don't know anybody who loves work as much as I do.

People ask me, 'Don't you ever run out of ideas?' In the first place I don't use ideas. Every time I have an idea it's too limiting, and usually turns out to be a disappointment. But I haven't run out of curiosity.

With me, it's much more a matter of accepting whatever happens, accepting all these elements from the outside and then trying to work with them in a sort of free collaboration.

If I declare it to be so, then this is a portrait.

Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made - I try to act in the gap.
