The painting has a life of its own
Jackson Pollock
A method of painting is a natural growth out of a need. I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

A man's life is his work his work is his life.
Jackson Pollock
Art is coming face to face with yourself.
Jackson Pollock
