"My painting is a message of pain. It is the result of the total destruction of my happiness."

"I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do.…"

"The fact that I painted myself twice, I think, is nothing but the representation of my loneliness…"

"I am not a surrealist. I have never painted dreams. I have painted my own reality."

"There are some people who are so much a part of your life that you just can't imagine living without them."
