"I know, in advance, the appearance the brush stroke will create, so that they appear spontaneous but are in fact as restrained as any other style. Nobody just throws paint; it's got some purpose. You're directing it and it may look spontaneous because you're making single uncorrected brush strokes. But I do it with the knowledge that I'm going to be able to adjust it and change it or remove it or paint over it. These painterly brush strokes are both spontaneous and directed. That's not exactly the right word. Controlled, I guess is better." - from Melinda Camber Porter in Conversation with Roy Lichtenstein
