It [abstract Art] Should Be

With Experience It Seems To Be Possible To Control The Flow Of Paint, To A Great Extent, And I Don't Use - I Don't Use The Accident - 'cause I Deny The Accident... It's Quite Different From Working, Say, From A Still Life Where You Set Up Objects And Work Directly From Them. I Do Have A General Notion Of What I'm About And What The Results Will Be. I Approach Painting In The Same Sense As One Approaches Drawing, That Is, It's Direct.

My Paintings Do Not Have A Center, But Depend On The Same Amount Of Interest Throughout.

The Painting Has A Life Of Its Own

Most Of The Paint I Use Is A Liquid, Flowing Kind Of Paint. The Brushes I Use Are More A Sticks Rather Than Brushes – The Brush Doesn’t Touch The Surface On The Canvas, It’s Just Above [so] I Am Able To Be More Free And To Have Greater Freedom And Move About The Canvas, With Greater Ease.

People Have Always Frightened And Bored Me Consequently I Have Been Within My Own Shell.
