Every good painter paints what he is.

The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.

When I'm painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It's only after a get acquainted period that I see what I've been about. I've no fears about making changes for the painting has a life of its own.

New needs need new techniques. And the modern artists have found new ways and new means of making their statements... the modern painter cannot express this age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio, in the old forms of the Renaissance or of any other past culture.

I hardly ever stretch the canvas before painting.

I'm very representational some of the time, and a little all of the time. But when you're painting out of your unconscious, figures are bound to emerge.

I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc.

On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting.

It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

He drove his kind of realism at me so hard I bounced right into nonobjective painting.

My paintings do not have a center, but depend on the same amount of interest throughout.

Today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves. Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.

The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.

Love is friendship set to music.

Art is coming face to face with yourself.

There is no accident, just as there is no beginning and no end.

Bums are the well to do of this day. They didnt have as far to fall.

A canvas is an arena in which to act.

Be where the acting is. I live in Houston. Dallas is 4 1/2 hours away. I let them know there's no difference.

I was grateful for the opportunity to make a difference. The political violence really started in 1970-1971. The political difficulties start a little bit beyond that.

I think the human body is beautiful, and I don't really have a huge problem in dealing with it, but it's the context, the environment and what I feel about it that that makes the difference for me.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.
