"Maler sein, ist etwas Ungeheures. Die Malerei gibt die Möglichkeit, in unerforschte Regionen vorzustoßen, die sehr, sehr weit weg sind von uns. Ich glaube, dass Malen eine religiöse Beschäftigung ist." ("Being a painter is something tremendous. Painting gives you the opportunity to venture into unexplored regions that are very, very far away from us. I believe that painting is a religious activity.")
