Quote

What people don't understand is that how you are as an artist depends on how you are emotionally.

All art is about appealing to emotion.

If I'm not invested emotionally, the artwork doesn't feel emotional.

All sensitive people agree that there is a peculiar emotion provoked by works of art.

True artistic expression lies in conveying emotion.

I believe that the great painters with their intellect as master have attempted to force this unwilling medium of paint and canvas into a record of their emotions.

You know, art is very emotional business. But mostly it becomes not emotional, the fabric of commodity. It becomes business. It becomes so many different things. Because we forgot there was emotions involved.

A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.

My whole career I've been interested by the distinction between an emotional and an intellectual response to an artwork.

To express your emotions, you have to be very loose and receptive. The unconscious will come to you if you have that gift that artists have. I only know if I'm inspired by the results.
