"As far as I am concerned the paint is the person. I want it to work for me just as flesh does."
Work
"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
"There is a distinction between fact and truth. Truth has an element of revelation about it. If something is true, it does more than strike one as merely being so."
Truth
"A painter must think of everything he sees as being there entirely for his own use and pleasure."
Being
"I would wish my portraits to be of the people, not like them. Not having a look of the sitter, being them."

Art
"A painter's tastes must grow out of what so obsesses him in life that he never has to ask himself what it is suitable for him to do in art."
Life
"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
"My work is purely autobiographical... It is about myself and my surroundings."
