"I don't like things that can be reproduced. Wood isn't important in itself but rather in the fact that objects made in it are unique, simple, unpretentious."
Fact
"I had always loved expressionist painting, like every European. In fact I admired it all the more because these were precisely the paintings despised by my father's generation."

"The artist is not responsible to any one. His social role is asocial... his only responsibility consists in an attitude to the work he does."
Attitude
"I always work out of uncertainty but when a painting's finished it becomes a fixed idea, apparently a final statement. In time though, uncertainty returns... your thought process goes on."
Time

Work
"Unlike the expressionists, I have never been interested in renewing the world through the vehicle of art."
