The Aura Given Out By A Person

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.

The Process Of Creation Becomes Necessary To The Painter Perhaps More Than Is The Picture. The Process In Fact Is Habit-forming

I've Always Wanted To Create Drama In My Pictures, Which Is Why I Paint People. It's People Who Have Brought Drama To Pictures From The Beginning. The Simplest Human Gestures Tell Stories.

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

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.
