"I wanted to get away from the physical aspect of painting. I was more interested in the ideas."

"The more I live, the more I realize that the only thing that matters is to be free."

"I was interested in ideas—not merely in visual products. I wanted to put painting once again at the service of the mind."

"My painting is a non-painting."

"I have drawn a great deal. I have drawn a great deal in my life. I have drawn a great deal in my mind."
