"Since the model he so faithfully copies is not going to be hung up next to the picture... it is of no interest whether it is an accurate copy of the model."
Interest
"When I look at a body it gives me choice of what to put in a painting, what will suit me and what won't."
Body
"The model should only serve the very private function for the painter of providing the starting point for his excitement."
Art
"The painter must give a completely free rein to any feeling or sensations he may have and reject nothing to which he is naturally drawn."
Emotional
"Whether it will convince or not, depends entirely on what it is in itself, what is there to be seen."
Will
"I remember Francis Bacon would say that he felt he was giving art what he thought it previously lacked. With me, it's what Yeats called the fascination with what's difficult. I'm only trying to do what I can't do."
Art
"The character of the artist doesn't enter into the nature of the art."
Nature
"I am only interested in painting the actual person, in doing a painting of them, not in using them to some ulterior end of art. For me, to use someone doing something not native to them would be wrong."
Art
"The picture is all he feels about it, all he thinks worth preserving of it, all he invests it with. If all the qualities which a painter took from the model for his picture were really taken, no person could be painted twice."
Worth
"As far as I am concerned the paint is the person. I want it to work for me just as flesh does."
