There Is Always Hope, As Long As

I Have Never Painted A Self-portrait. I Am Less Interested In Myself As A Subject For A Painting Than I Am In Other People, Above All Women... There Is Nothing Special About Me. I Am A Painter Who Paints Day After Day From Morning To Night... Who Ever Wants To Know Something About Me... Ought To Look Carefully At My Pictures.

Even When I Have To Write A Simple Letter I'm Scared Stiff As If Faced With Looming Seasickness.

Art Is A Line Around Your Thoughts.

True Relaxation, Which Would Do Me The World Of Good, Does Not Exist For Me.

I Have The Gift Of Neither The Spoken Nor The Written Word, Especially If I Have To Say Something About Myself Or My Work. Whoever Wants To Know Something About Me -as An Artist, The Only Notable Thing- Ought To Look Carefully At My Pictures And Try And See In Them What I Am And What I Want To Do.
