“You arrive at the image through the act of painting.”

If we depart form tradition, it is out of knowledge, not innocence.

My favorite symbols were those which I didn’t understand.

It seems tome they are more concerned that we should go back, than about nature.

Painting is self-discovery.

I never abstract from nature; I never consciously think of nature when I paint.

In times of violence, personal predilections for niceties of colour and form seem irrelevant.

I use color in terms of emotional quality, as a vehicle for feeling…

All primitive expression (like the myths) reveals the constant awareness of powerful forces,

Feeling is everything I have experienced or thought.

I want to express the utmost intensity of the color, bring out the quality, make it expressive.

I never use nature as a starting point.

Certain people always say we should go back to nature.I notice they never say we should go forward to nature.

Everyone is a mirror image of yourself-your own thinking coming back to you.

First impressions are always the most important.

The weight of your body is controlled by the image in your mind.

The final bridge to cross is to let go of the mind-created ‘spiritual’ self. Burn that bridge behind you. Stay empty of self-image and cease looking back. Remain in the neutrality of being. That’s it!

First of all, directing is an idea that you have of a total flow of images that are going on, which are incidentally actors, words, and objects in space.
