Photography is the most direct communication in non-violent contacts.

There was a whole language that I could never make function for myself in relationship to painting, and that was attitudes like tortured, struggle, pain.

While my classmates were reading their textbooks, I drew in the margins.

Basically painting is total idiocy.

The only thing that I could get with chance, and I never was able to use it, was that I would end up with something quite geometric or the spirit that I was interested in, indulging in, was gone.

Every time I've moved, my work has changed radically.

This is a portrait of Iris Clert if I say so.
