Basically painting is total idiocy.

I wouldn't use the same color in a picture in more than one place

I never allowed myself the luxury of those brilliant, beautiful colors until I went to India and saw people walking around in them or dragging them in the mud. I realised they were not so artificial.

And all of this, all these physical aspects of painting at that time excited me very much. You could do a picture in just black and white. I mean all the things, whether you're soliciting permission or not, do give you permission

If you don't have trouble paying the rent, you have trouble doing something else; one needs just a certain amount of trouble.

For me there is no difference between art and life.

I am sick of talking about What and Why I am doing. I have always believed that the WORK is the word. Action is seen less clearly through reason. There are no shortcuts to directness.
