The sunflower is mine, in a way.

What is drawing? It is working oneself through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do.

I take great care of myself by carefully shutting myself away.

An artist needn't be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.

In the fullness of artistic life there is, and remains, and will always come back at times, that homesick longing for the truly ideal life that can never come true.

How to achieve such anomalies, such alterations and re-fashionings of reality so what comes out of it are lies, if you like, but lies that are more than literal truth.

Do you know that drawing with words is also an art... ?
