I Have A Timetable, But No Routine.

I Paint People, Not Because Of What They Are Like, Not Exactly In Spite Of What They Are Like, But How They Happen To Be.

I Use The Gallery As If It Were A Doctor. I Come For Ideas And Help - To Look At Situations Within Painting, Rather Than Paintings.

When I Look At A Body It Gives Me Choice Of What To Put In A Painting, What Will Suit Me And What Won't. There Is A Distinction Between Fact And Truth. Truth Has An Element Of Revelation About It. If Something Is True, It Does More Than Strike One As Merely Being So.

I Would Wish My Portraits To Be Of The People, Not Like Them. Not Having A Look Of The Sitter, Being Them.

A Painter's Tastes Must Grow Out Of What So Obsesses Him In Life That He Never Has To Ask Himself What It Is Suitable For Him To Do In Art.
