"...I'm not sure what a self-portrait is. All I know is I'm sick of the swagger and arrogance, the self-assuredness of some. Look at Velazquez dressed in all that stuff, posing for the camera! I prefer those paintings that Rembrandt did when he was old and broke - all there is is flesh. He's a product of what happened to him, not what he did... I tell you - when I was hanging up there I was simply calm and in pain...that's enough..."
