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.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I was thinking of going to London drama schools or to New York, because France didn't accommodate the things I wanted to do in film.
