I think I'm painting a picture of two women but it may turn out to be a landscape.

In art one idea is as good as another.

Yes, I am influenced by everbody. But every time I put my hands in my pockets I find someone else's fingers there.

I read somewhere that Rubens said students should not draw from life, but draw from all the great classic casts. Then you really get the measure of them, you really know what to do. And then, put in your own dimples. Isn't that marvelous!

I have to change to stay the same.

Flesh was the reason why oil painting was invented

The past does not influence me; I influence it.
