I understand people have doubts, but I'm totally clean.

I'm actually a pretty clean-cut person.

I have been told that some of my photographs maybe indicate that I am a painter.

Cleanliness is the scourge of art.

I'm not just painting for painting's sake. I want to be truthful.

It is not your paintings I like, it is your painting.

Do not think that I have stopped painting, for at any moment, I am liable to paint a good picture.

My responsibility isn't to paint a flattering portrait; my responsibility is to paint a real portrait, a true portrait.

Everybody thinks I'm very clean and sort of upright, don't they?

I'm not painting myself as a down-home, modest guy.
