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

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.

For me there is no difference between art and life.

Art is a means to function thoroughly and passionately in a world that has a lot more to it than paint.

Very quickly a painting is turned into a facsimile of itself when one becomes so familiar with with it that one recognizes it without looking at it.

I don't like masterpieces having one-night stands in collectors' homes between auctions.

An empty canvas is full only if you want it to be full.
