“Someone once described me as a maverick and that's what I would say. I'm a maverick not by choice but by conviction.”

Van Morrison (1945) Northern Irish singer-songwriter and musician

As quoted in Too Late to Stop Now (1993) by Steve Turner

“I began in 1976, with small abstract paintings that allowed me to do what I had never let myself do: put something down at random. And then, of course, I realized that it never can be random. It was all a way of opening a door for me. If I don't know what's coming – that is, if I have no hard-and-fast image, as I have with a photographic original – then arbitrary choice and chance play an important part.”

Gerhard Richter (1932) German visual artist, born 1932
