Singing has always seemed to me the most perfect means of expression. It is so spontaneous. And after singing, I think the violin. Since I cannot sing, I paint.
One can't paint New York as it is, but rather as it is felt.
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 don't very much enjoy looking at paintings in general. I know too much about them. I take them apart.
I said to myself, I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down.
