Most artists work all the time, they do actually, especially good artists, they work all the time, what else is there to do? I mean you do.

When you are older, you realise that everything else is just nothing compared to painting and drawing.

The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.

It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.

I actually think the deafness makes you see clearer. If you can't hear, you somehow see.

When you stop doing something, it doesn't mean you are rejecting the previous work. That's the mistake; it's not rejecting it, it's saying, 'I have exploited it enough now and I wish to take a look at another corner.'
