"If you have to spend a long time thinking when painting, things become difficult. Sometimes I paint a picture and have a problem with it. Then you take a step back, look at it and take the blue paint. I don't think about whether I have to paint blue. Instead, I instinctively reach for the blue tube. And that is the quality."
