Frank Auerbach
 | " I think that the very earliest influence was a horror of having to work in a bank or an office, a desire for a free and creative life." |
| " In addition to the artistic influences, I am influenced by my current private life, my feelings about it and my energy level and state of health." |
| " I never work with an audience, I can't do this. The process depends on the highest degree of nervous concentration. " |
| " I destroy things every day in the act of working and often recall a picture I had considered finished in order to rework it. " |
