In one way or another, i always marked my pictures. but there were times when i put my signature on the back of the canvas. all my works from the cubist period, until about 1914, have my name and the date on the back side of the stretcher. i know someone spread the story that in céret, braque and i decided not to sign our pictures anymore. but that's just a legend!

More From Pablo Picasso

Almost every evening, either i went to [georges] braque's studio or braque came to mine. each of us had to see what the other had done during the day. we criticized each other's work. a canvas wasn't finished unless both of us felt it was.
Done Evening Canvas
Just slap anything on when you see a blank canvas staring you in the face like some imbecile. you don't know how paralyzing that is, that stare of a blank canvas is, which says to the painter, ‘you can't do a thing’. the canvas has an idiotic stare and mesmerizes some painters so much that they turn into idiots themselves. many painters are afraid in front of the blank canvas, but the blank canvas is afraid of the real, passionate painter who dares and who has broken the spell of `you can't' once and for all.
Real Broken Passionate
When we did cubist paintings, our intention was not to produce cubist paintings but to express what was within us. no one laid down a course of action for us, and our friends the poets followed our endeavour attentively but they never dictated it to us.

I envied women with signature hair-dos, signature perfumes, signature sign-offs. novelists who tell vogue magazine: “i can’t live without my smythson notebook, pomegranate noir cologne by jo malone and frette sheets”. in the grip of madness, materialism begins to look like an admirable belief system.

Making this movie as a period piece about a period that was very recent in people's minds. i was in taiwan [during the 1970s], so i hope i did all right. otherwise, it could be the biggest embarrassment of my life. also, the story is not linear, it's patchy, like a cubist painting, and there is always the possibility it will not hold together, it will fall apart. the tone is part satire, part serious drama, part tragedy, all mixed together, and it has to hit an emotional core. that's also very scary.

Writers are voracious readers. once i unlocked the mystery of the alphabet that led to words, a multitude of words connecting me to the world, there was no stopping me. everything was fair game, from louisa may alcott to my older cousin's true romance magazines, from lewis carroll to the backs of cereal boxes. all of this fed me, but it took certain books to make me grow. i don't want to work without a sense of drama, without passion, or without both eyes open to the world around me.

I grew up in the theatre. it's where i got my start. writing a television drama with theatrical dialogue about the theatre is beyond perfection.
Drama Writing Perfection
That's what life is, it's the small struggles. you walk down the street for half an hour, you see half an hour of drama. you don't need convoluted plot lines. you don't need long-lost brothers. you don't need it's set on the future; it's set on the moon.

I just feel incredibly lucky. i went to drama school and about 28 of us graduated. i graduated from drama school in 2000, and i would say about two of us are working and able to make a living out of it. it is a tough profession. to have the kind of success i have had is really amazing, and i am incredibly grateful.
