“Never, never do I set to work on a canvas in the state it comes in from the shop. I provoke accidents - a form, a splotch of color. Any accident is good enough. I let the matiere decide.

“One has to be able to twist and change and distort characters, play with them like clay, so everything fits together. Real people don't permit you to do that.”
“I made enough money to buy a house. That's crazy, but fame proved ephemeral.”
“So long as the presence of death lurks with anyone who goes through the simple act of swallowing, I will make mine whiskey.”
