My Concern Is Never Art, But Always

And I Think A Painting Has Such A Limited Life Anyway

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.

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

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.

A Canvas Is Never Empty.
