You reason colour more than you reason drawing Colour has a logic as severe as form.

Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly.

I am just beginning to understand what it is to paint. A painter should have two lives, one in which to learn, and one in which to practice his art.

You cannot possibly invent painting all by yourself.

The precision of naming takes away from the uniqueness of seeing.

Drawing is feeling. Color is an act of reason.

Painting has to get back to its original goal, examining the inner lives of human beings.

What I am after is the first impression - I want to show all one sees on first entering the room - what my eye takes in at first glance.

It's not a matter of painting life, it's a matter of giving life to painting.

Color does not add a pleasant quality to design - it reinforces it.

A painting that is well composed is half finished.

Fortune sides with him who dares.

The Measure of success isn't money or the number of books you write, it is seen in the faces of those you love

It is gracious to overlook and offence.

Drink the nectar of love from the flowers of life.

In the act of loving someone you arm them against you.

There is no such thing as recreational drug use.

I get the feeling that sometimes the ideas work very well when you're doing them in the studio alone.

Yesterday and tomorrow cross and mix on the skyline. The two are lost in a purple haze. One forgets, one waits.

I think that celebrities should never underestimate their power. I mean just to draw attention, because then people get involved on a personal level.

I don't see music as working.
