Alex Colville quotes:

I think if anything I am perhaps more inclined than most people are to be polite and considerate because I am aware that human relationships are innately fragile and kind of dangerous.

My painting occurs when I think of two disparate elements.

Anxiety is the normality of our age,

I don't think there's such a thing as an evil animal.

It's the ordinary things that seem important to me.

The woman sees, I suppose, and the man does not,

I don't use photographs because photographs don't give me the kind of information I need.
