Do not strive to be a modern artist: it's the one thing, unfortunately, you can't help being.

Knowing how to look is a way of inventing.

When the creations of a genius collide with the mind of a layman, and produce an empty sound, there is little doubt as to which is at fault.

I am making things that inspire me with a profound emotion and I am trying to paint them honestly.

The world of the cinema and of painting are very different; precisely, the possibilities of photography and the cinema reside in that unlimited fantasy which is born of things themselves... a piece of sugar can become on the screen larger than an infinite perspective of gigantic buildings.

There comes a moment in every person's life when they realise they adore me.

Forever will be you and me.
