I am an Indian and a painter, that's all.

I am like a folk painter. Paint and move ahead.

I'm an Indian-origin painter. I will remain so to my last breath.

I kept on trying to use so many media and ideas in my work because our horizon is so vast and Indian culture is so rich that I think what we are today, culturally, we have a unique position and I don't think one lifetime is enough to encompass it.

Ninety-nine percent of Indian people loved me and they still love me.

I am not a crook.
