A painting is finished when the idea has disappeared.

我不想做下一个迈克尔-乔丹，我只想做科比-布莱恩特。

The richness I achieve comes from Nature, the source of my inspiration.

我不抱怨。我接受挑战并努力工作。

You cannot always control what goes on outside, but you can always control what goes on inside.

I want the painting to be flesh, to have the same kind of life as the sitter.
