Despite all the efforts of art dealers, the number of Rembrandts existing at a given time is limited; yet such paintings are commonly disposed of by auction.

My sin as a painter is that I just want to paint anything I want to paint - and repaint.

If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldn't have to paint at all.

Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.

When things become peculiar, frustrating and strange, I think it's a good time to start painting.

I want to die painting.

I love painting so much that nothing else matters.

I said, I don't want to paint things like Picasso's women and Matisse's odalisques lying on couches with pillows. I don't want to paint people. I want to paint something I have never seen before. I don't want to make what I'm looking at. I want the fragments.

I crave to be able to photograph the way a painter paints - in a loose, expressive way.
