One has to believe in what one is doing, one has to commit oneself
inwardly,in order to do painting. Once obsessed, one ultimately carries it
to the point of believing that one might change human beings through
painting. But if one lacks this passionate commitment, there is nothing left
to do. Then it is best to leave it alone. For basically painting is total idiocy.
