• ‟ When I got into art school, I thought it was paradise. I wanted to be an artist so much that I was really driven and nothing could stop me.

  - Sean Scully
  

• ‟ I work on stretched linen canvas, sized so that the surface already has a sense of tension when I begin. It is a very rich and reactive surface. I begin by drawing on the canvas with a kind of loose line, very simply and freely. I paint very thinly, which allows me to change the drawing if I want to.

  - Sean Scully
  

• ‟ I started at school. When I painted, all the girls would come and sit around me. I realised that this was a really good way to get girlfriends.

  - Sean Scully
  

• ‟ I was the only one to go to university, and the last thing my dad wanted was for me to be an artist. But later on, when I bought him a house in the south of Spain, he thought it was all right then.

  - Sean Scully
  

• ‟ I think that I make chords when I paint, so I think you would be listening to the cello. It's deep, and it's resonant. A lot of people have compared me to Brahms - that slightly melancholic sensuality that's highly structured. Well, that describes my work right there.

  - Sean Scully
  

• ‟ I was doing an interview with a curator, and he asked me to sum up art in one word. Before he even finished asking the question, I said, 'Impurity.' Because that's it.
