I don't like it when a woman looks like a fashion victim.
To feel the soul without explaining it, without vocabulary, and to represent this sensation.
The dominant invades the entire picture, as it were. In this way I seek to individualize the color, because I have come to believe that there is a living world of each color and I express these worlds.
The immaterial blue colour shown at Iris Clert's in April had in short made me inhuman, had excluded me from the world of tangible reality; I was an extreme element of society who lived in space and who had no means of coming back to earth. Jean Tinguely saw me in space and signaled to me in speed to show me the last machine to take to return to the ephemerality of material life.

A saint isn't somebody who tries harder, but someone who trusts more.
We are all so privileged to be citizens of America, and we all need to be engaged.
