My life provides me with these images that become expressions of my daily experience.

Prodigy only feeds on prodigy, fantasy on fantasy.

I couldn't get used to the community and social life of a theatrical set designer.

I call prodigy all that is invented, all that begins to exist from the second it is conceived, it is the process not the results, the principle and not the fruits.

All I know is that mine was a completely new theory about art, a new approach that made the pictures appear just like life does.

I haven't even ever wanted to distort. I isolate and represent.

I always use given and simple elements, I don't want to add or subtract anything.

An audience is perhaps unnecessary to the soul-searching mystic, but it is vital to the magician, the maker of prodigies.

My themes are derived from current events, from familiar situations, from daily life, because I never actively intervene against the object, I can feel the magic of its presence.

I never tried to stage, to fabricate an image.

I know how pathetically inadequate my medium [painting] is, but unfortunately I dispose of no other.

You said move on, where do I go?

We can only keep what we have by being willing to freely give it away; a paraphrase of Jesus Christ.

Revenge is always the weak pleasure of a little and narrow mind.

At the last moment she thought, I'm not ready.But she already knew the answer to that.Nobody was ever ready.

Because beauty will be so readily accessible, and skin color and features will be similar, prejudices based on physical features will be nearly eradicated. Prejudice will be socioeconomically based.

I can't tell a joke to save my soul. It's just not my thing, though I love to listen to jokes.

Minds, unlike brains, are not entirely given at birth. Minds are also forms of cultural achievement.

Anyone who criticizes you cares about your friendship. Anyone who makes light of your faults cares nothing about you.

You weren't going to the theatre to change the world, but you had a chance to affect the world, the thinking and the feelings of the world.
