I Think I Am Seeing More Clearly

We Need All Kinds Of Artists. We Have No Need To Destroy Drawing. We Lose So Much. This Wouldn't Happen In Music.

And Then I Went Round The Corner And There's A Van Gogh Portrait, And You Just Think, Well, This Is Another Level. A Higher Level, Actually. I Love The Sargent, But It's Not The Level Of Van Gogh.

I'm Not Really Looking For Theater Work. But If Somebody Approaches Me With Enthusiasm, I Might Respond.

I Have Always Believed That Art Should Be A Deep Pleasure...ther E Is Always, Everywhere, An Enormous Amount Of Suffering. But I Believe My Duty As An Artist Is To Overcome And Alleviate The Sterility Of Despair...new Ways Of Seeing Mean New Ways Of Feeling... I Do Believe That Painting Can Change The World.

Who's Going To Ask A Painter To See A Diploma? They'd Say, 'can I See Your Paintings?', Wouldn't They?
