For me, the decisive point to become an artist was the fact that the painter does not have to get up early in the morning to go to work; he has whole lot of money just twiddling his thumbs; he relaxes throughout the whole year in residences… And then, easily accessible naked women are always beside him. Over the years, I realised that it is not so. But it was too late to change something.
