Even At This Late Date, I Go

I Really Feel Sorry For People Who Think Things Like Soap Dishes Or Mirrors Or Coke Bottles Are Ugly, Because They're Surrounded By Things Like That All Day Long, And It Must Make Them Miserable.

But I Was In Awe Of The Painters; I Mean I Was New In New York, And I Thought The Painting That Was Going On Here Was Just Unbelievable

You Have To Have The Time To Feel Sorry For Yourself In Order To Be A Good Abstract Expressionist.

For The First Time, I Wasn't Embarrassed By The Look Of Beauty, Of Elegance, Because When You See Someone Who Has Only One Rag As Their Property, But It Happens To Be Beautiful And Pink And Silk, Beauty Doesn't Have To Be Separated... I Have Always Said That You Shouldn't Have Biases, You Shouldn't Have Prejudices. But Before That [before His Trip To India, Circa 1975] I'd Never Been Able To Use Purple, Because It Was Too Beautiful.

I Feel As Though The World Is A Friendly Boy Walking Along In The Sun.
