“Give me a museum and I'll fill it.”

“Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.”

“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”

“Whatever the source of emotion that drives me to create, I want to give it a form which has some connection with the visible world, even if it is only to wage war on that world....I want my paintings to be able to defend themselves to resist the invader, just as though there were razor blades on all surfaces so no one could touch them without cutting his hands.”

“Painting is stronger than me, it makes me do it's bidding.”

“It took me a lifetime.”

“It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.”
