I've Not Been Cursed With Talent, Which

I Always Have A Good Reason For Taking Something Out But I Never Have One For Putting Something In. And I Don't Want To, Because That Means That The Picture Is Being Painted Predigested.

I Was Much Happier When I Had Less Responsibility... When My Only Responsibility Was To My Work And To Myself.

One Has To Believe In What One Is Doing, One Has To Commit Oneself Inwardly, In Order To Do Painting. Once Obsessed, One Ultimately Carries It To The Point Of Believing That One Might Change Human Beings Through Painting. But If One Lacks This Passionate Commitment, There Is Nothing Left To Do. Then It Is Best To Leave It Alone.

I Refuse To Be In This World By Myself. I Want An Open Commitment From The Rest Of The People.

Sometimes I Have Taken Photographs And Just Felt So Excited That I Could Barely Hold The Camera Steady, And The Photo Was Boring.
