“I don't know in advance what I am going to put on canvas any more than I decide beforehand what colours I am going to use.”

“I understand my own pictures best six months after I have done them.”

“The muttered hint, "Remember, you have a stroke here," freezes my joints like a blast from Siberia.”

“Old elephants limp off to the hills to die; old Americans go out to the highway and drive themselves to death with huge cars.”

“In youth it is the outward aspect of things that most engages us; while in age, thought or reflection is the predominating qualityof the mind.

“The youth of the present day are quite monstrous. They have absolutely no respect for dyed hair.”
