I Have A Timetable, But No Routine.

I Think Half The Point Of Painting A Picture Is That You Don't Know What Will Happen... That If Painters Did Know What Was Going To Happen They Wouldn't Bother To Do It.

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.

A Painter Must Think Of Everything He Sees As Being There Entirely For His Own Use And Pleasure.

I Have A Hatred Of Habit And Routine. And What Dogs Love Is Just That. They Like Regular Everything, And I Don't Have Regular Anything. I Have A Timetable, But No Routine.

If All The Qualities Which A Painter Took From The Model For His Picture Were Really Taken, No Person Could Be Painted Twice.
