All decisions in the artistic execution of the work rest with pure intuition and cannot be translated into a self-analysis.

I don't believe in art. I believe in artists.

The artist performs only one part of the creative process. The onlooker completes it, and it is the onlooker who has the last word.

Anything is art if an artist says it is.

It's not what you see that is art. Art is the gap.

Artmaking is making the invisible, visible.

I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.

Destruction is also creation.

I am interested in ideas, not merely in visual products.

You cannot define electricity. The same can be said of art. It is a kind of inner current in a human being, or something which needs no definition.

Living is more a question of what one spends than what one makes.

As I was saying, that’s the dark secret of our time, no one mentions it, but every time one opens a door one is greeted by a shrill, desperate and inaudible scream.

It will soon make sense with some reasonable research and reading...ti's all in there, somewhere... find it!!

In an effort to get the work of the Lord done we often lose contact with the Lord of work.

I went to church with my grandparents sometimes and I loved it.

I just really enjoy the ritual of going to work and playing, which is essentially what we do. We play pretend. Acting is a kids' game.

I write books to relieve ­myself of pain. That's the prime motivator to write. Period.

After ten or twelve years you can only play something so long and then you start to parody it.

Anything we do to fight misery and ignorance and poverty, no matter how imperfect it may be, is still better than doing nothing at all.

I never ride just to ride. I ride to catch a fox. I play baseball to make the team.

I just want to be the guy that inspires other kids to come do what I'm doing.
