I used to draw like Raphael, but it has taken me a whole lifetime to learn to draw like a child
It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child
In life you throw a ball. You hope it will reach a wall and bounce back so you can throw it again. You hope your friends will provide that wall.
If I don't have red, I use blue.
Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it?
There's nothing more difficult than a line.
The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.
It took me a lifetime.
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Sculpture is the art of the intelligence.
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
I should like to live like a poor man, with a great deal of money
Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.
