I haven't the slightest idea what art is, but to be a painter is something of which you have to prove.

Commonplace objects are constantly changing… The pies, for example, we now see, are not going to be around forever. We are merely used to the idea that things do not change.

Art means something very rare, an extraordinary achievement.

An artist has to train his responses more than other people do. He has to be as disciplined as a mathematician. Discipline is not a restriction but an aid to freedom. It prepares an artist to choose his own limitations.

Common objects become strangely uncommon when removed from their context and ordinary ways of being seen.
