And when I read, and really I do not read so much, only a few authors, - a few men that I discovered by accident - I do this because they look at things in a broader, milder and more affectionate way than I do, and because they know life better, so that I can learn from them.

I wish they would take me as I am.

When I have a terrible need of - shall I say the word - religion. Then I go out and paint the stars.

Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.

I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.

One must work and dare if one really wants to live.

If your inner voice is telling you that you can't paint, by all means, hurry up and paint and silence the voice.
