"I have always been interested in the light. The way it changes things."

"I paint because I have to. It's a compulsion."

"I wish people would not try to find out what I had to eat, or what I wear, or what I think about when I am not working."

"I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life – and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do."

"I have lived a very long time, and I have seen many things."
