Jackson Pollock

When you're working, you're not thinking about what you're doing. You're just doing it.

I'm not interested in self-expression, I'm interested in expressing the dark passions of humanity.

I am a primitive.

I want to express my feelings, not illustrate them.

I don't have any ideas before I start to paint.

I'm not interested in the beautiful.

My painting is direct.

I'm not interested in the 'how to'. I'm interested in the 'what for'.

I don't think in terms of art. I think in terms of painting.

I don't have to look for things. They come to me.

I'm not interested in what people think. I'm interested in what I think.

I'm not interested in the object. I'm interested in the process.

I don't want to explain my painting. I want it to speak for itself.

I don't work from drawings or sketches. I work directly on the canvas.

I'm not interested in technique. I'm interested in expression.

I don't care what people think about my work. I just do it.

I'm not looking for anything. I'm just letting it happen.

I don't have to explain anything. It's all there.

I'm not interested in making pretty pictures.

I don't have to prove anything to anyone.
