If it weren't for painting, I wouldn't live; I couldn't bear the extra strain of things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I found I have to stay painting.
But painting can be too lonely... I like being with people too much to have ever made that my life's work.
Painting is not what my life is about, but it is very important to me, and I am very lucky to be able to give some time to it.
Painting is a hobby for me.
I tried to be a house painter, but I couldn't stand all that paint all over me.
You know, painting has given me a lot of freedom, because for some reason, I've been able to paint things, organize things in a way that I see that don't have any buffers or compromises in them.
If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldn't have to paint at all.
I hope I will be able to paint as long as I live.
A painting is like a man. If you can live without it, then there isn't much point in having it.
I don't paint to live, I live to paint.
