Work Cures Everything.

You Study, You Learn, But You Guard The Original Naivete. It Has To Be Within You, As Desire For Drink Is Within The Drunkard Or Love Is Within The Lover.

Don't Try To Be Original. Be Simple. Be Good Technically, And If There Is Something In You, It Will Come Out.

Drawing Is Of The Spirit And Color Of The Senses.

Did Not The Artists Of The Great Age Of Japanese Art Change Names Many Times During Their Careers? I Like That; They Wanted To Safeguard Their Freedom.

I Do Not Repudiate Any Of My Paintings But There Isn't One Of Them That I Would Not Redo Differently, If I Had It To Redo. My Destination Is Always The Same But I Work Out A Different Route To Get There.
