I feel as though the world is a friendly boy walking along in the sun.

You begin with the possibilities of the material.

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.

I want my paintings to look like what's going on outside my window rather than what's inside my studio.

The working process is ideally freeing my mind.

Sometimes I have taken photographs and just felt so excited that I could barely hold the camera steady, and the photo was boring.

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