This was my first encounter with art as art (he saw 'Pinky' painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence and 'The Blue Boy" painted by Thomas Gainborough).. ..somebody actually MADE those paintings.. ..(it) was the first time I realized you could be an artist.

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

Curiosity is the main energy.

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

Work is my joy... Work is my therapy, I don't know anybody who loves work as much as I do.

I got so I was really just sick of sculpture.
