The Character Of The Artist

Everything Is Autobiographical And Everything Is A Portrait.

I Think Half The Point Of Painting A Picture Is That You Don't Know What Will Happen... That If Painters Did Know What Was Going To Happen They Wouldn't Bother To Do It.

I Paint People, Not Because Of What They Are Like, Not Exactly In Spite Of What They Are Like, But How They Happen To Be.

The Task Of The Artist Is To Make The Human Being Uncomfortable.

The Paintings That Really Excite Me Have An Erotic Element Or Side To Them Irrespective Of Subject Matter
