M. F. Husain

I'm an Indian-origin painter. I will remain so to my last breath.

I have not intended to denigrate or hurt the beliefs of anyone through my art.

Mostly people are ignorant, what is the language of painting. You know, they're ignorant. It is so difficult to make them aware, but time will teach them.

We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition - We're creating our own definition and saying, 'We are intelligent!'

I have learned that I am not built for conflict or controversy. I have also learned that, in all my life, I have never chosen a story. The story has always chosen me.

I don't like to get in front of people.
