I'm interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.

Shadows sometimes people don't see shadows. The Chinese of course never paint them in pictures, oriental art never deals with shadow. But I noticed these shadows and I knew it meant it was sunny.

I generally only paint people I know, I'm not a flatterer really.

No theoretician, no writer on art, however interesting he or she might be, could be as interesting as Picasso. A good writer on art may give you an insight to Picasso, but, after all, Picasso was there first.

All painters are interested in photography to a certain extent.

Condemnatory conservatism isn't anything I'm interested in.
