Edward Hopper

What I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house.

More of me comes out when I improvise.

Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.

Hatred is a very underestimated emotion.

After all, we are not French and never can be, and any attempt to be so is to deny our inheritance and to try to impose upon ourselves a character that can be nothing but a veneer upon the surface.

I want to do just, like, regular art. Whatever is made today on canvas goes up against all of art history. It's the most radical thing.
