Just slap something on it when you see a blank canvas staring at you with a sort of imbecility.

Love always brings difficulties, that is true, but the good side of it is that it gives energy.

That this awareness of my own fallibility will prevent me from making many mistakes doesn't alter the fact that I'm bound to make a great many mistakes anyway. But if we fall, we get up again!

You have first to experience what you want to express.

I believe I do much better for the time being by first copying some good things than by working without that foundation

Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.

For me work is an absolute necessity, indeed I can't really drag it out, I take no more pleasure in anything than in work, that's to say, pleasure in other things stops immediately and I become melancholy if I can't get on with the work.
