As far as I am concerned the paint is the person. I want it to work for me just as flesh does.

The process of creation becomes necessary to the painter perhaps more than is the picture. The process in fact is habit-forming

The painting is always done v...

The painting is always done very much with [the model's] co-operation. The problem with painting a nude, of course, is that it deepens the transaction. You can scrap a painting of someone's face and it imperils the sitter's self-esteem less than scrapping a painting of the whole naked body.

I have a hatred of habit and routine. And what dogs love is just that. They like regular everything, and I don't have regular anything. I have a timetable, but no routine.

I don't want any colour to be noticeable... I don't want it to operate in the modernist sense as colour, something independent... Full, saturated colours have an emotional significance I want to avoid.

I paint people not because of what they are like, not exactly in spite of what they are like, but how they happen to be.

Lucian Freud

I am only interested in painting the actual person, in doing a painting of them, not in using them to some ulterior end of art. For me, to use someone doing something not native to them would be wrong.

You ask why I'm fascinated by...

You ask why I'm fascinated by the human figure? As a human animal, I am interested in some of my fellow animals: in their minds and bodies.

I would wish my portraits to be of the people, not like them. Not having a look of the sitter, being them.

The paintings that really excite me have an erotic element or side to them irrespective of subject matter.

Lucian Freud

There is a distinction between fact and truth. Truth has an element of revelation about it. If something is true, it does more than strike one as merely being so.

The painter must give a completely free rein to any feeling or sensations he may have and reject nothing to which he is naturally drawn.

Lucian Freud 72 quotes
Lucian Freud

And, since the model he faith...

And, since the model he faithfully copies is not going to be hung up next to the picture, since the picture is going to be there on its own, it is of no interest whether it is an accurate copy of the model.

The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real.

Painting is sometimes like those recipes where you do all manner of elaborate things to a duck, and then end up putting it on one side and only using the skin.

When I look at a body it gives me choice of what to put in a painting, what will suit me and what won't.

The painter's obsession with his subject is all that he needs to drive him to work.

Lucian Freud 72 quotes
Lucian Freud

The picture is all he feels a...

The picture is all he feels about it, all he thinks worth preserving of it, all he invests it with. If all the qualities which a painter took from the model for his picture were really taken, no person could be painted twice.

Lucian Freud 72 quotes
Lucian Freud

The model should only serve the very private function for the painter of providing the starting point for his excitement.

Since the model he so faithfully copies is not going to be hung up next to the picture... it is of no interest whether it is an accurate copy of the model.
