Very much alone in my work, I am almost jealous of it.

The painting develops before my eyes, unfolding its surprises as it progresses. It is this which gives me the sense of complete liberty, and for this reason I am incapable of forming a plan or making a sketch beforehand.

I am very much a Republican.

Geography has no bearing on it, nor have the interests of the community in which I work.

I am very much in love with no one in particular.

I am not a scientist. I am, rather, an impresario of scientists.
