Art is obsolete now. New technologies are taking over.

Art is something that happens inside us. We look at things in the world, and we become excited by them. We understand our own possibilities of becoming. And that's what art is.

Art to me is a humanitarian act and I believe that there is a responsibility that art should somehow be able to effect mankind, to make the word a better place.

I'm making some of the greatest art being made now. It'll take the art world ten years to get around to it.

Art is about profundity. It's about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.

Art has this ability to allow you to connect back through history in the same way that biology does. I'm always looking for source material.

The media, the galleries, the collectors - it's all very chaotic actually. The artworld doesn't have this defined corporate structure that people imagine.

Every day I wake up and I really try to pinch myself to take advantage of today and to use that freedom of gesture to do what I really like to do.

I think about my work every minute of the day.

I know how art has come in and really changed my life, so to give these children that opportunity just to come into contact with art - that's wonderful.

I love the gallery, the arena of representation. It's a commercial world, and morality is based generally around economics, and that's taking place in the art gallery.

Though a new cloth makes you look new, when you see the old cloths, you remember the old life

If you can't find the spirit of the holidays in your heart, you'll never find it under a tree.

I make no apologies for us wanting to do this [bombing Iraq and Syria] appropriately and in a way that is consistent with American values.

No matter how old or sick or out of shape, you can still stretch and have a new beginning with yoga.

When you have had the kind of fame I had, I was always hounded by the media and I lived a very isolated life. Now it's even more difficult. The world has changed dramatically.

I would advise to to a young girl to think about modeling for a really long time before she does it because it's not as easy as it looks - and to just be herself and not let people make her crazy.

You don't inherit cancer; you actually get it.

If you make something interesting, inevitably not everybody is going to like it.

Technique is everything and we play a contact sport.
