I don't want a picture to look like something it isn't. I want it to look like something it is.

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.

Most artists try to break your heart, or they accidentally break their own hearts.But I find the quietness in the ordinary much more satisfying.

A pair of socks is no less suitable to make a painting with than wood, nails, turpentine, oil and fabric.

For me there is no difference between art and life.

By the time you establish your priorities, there really isn't any fun or need to interest yourself in what you're doing. And this I find disastrous.

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