A sincere artist is not one who makes a faithful attempt to put on to canvas what is in front of him, but one who tries to create something which is, in itself, a living thing.

I paint as I want to with no holds barred. I am more contented lately than I have been for a long time about my work. But not dangerously so.

Honing a thing down until you can still get through with economy, that's power. Learn your technique thoroughly, immerse yourself in it, and then just throw it all out the window, and express what you feel... and it will come through that you are a technician.

I am always worried whether I am doing my best work.
