"I often think I was born too late. I should have been born in the wild west."

"I wish people were all to be as simple as grass, they will be then free."

"I will not paint objects as they are. I will paint them as I see them."

"I don't think I'm any different from anybody else. I just happen to be an artist."

"Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest."
