Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic.

Whatever you do, the only secret is to believe in it and satisfy yourself. Don't do it for anyone else.

I don't think art is propaganda; it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it.

The only way art lives is through the experience of the observer. The reality of art begins with the eyes of the beholder, through imagination, invention and confrontation.

I'd like to pretend that I've never seen anything, never read anything, never heard anything... and then make something.

Red is one of the strongest colors, it's blood, it has a power with the eye. That's why traffic lights are red I guess, and stop signs as well.... In fact I use red in all of my paintings.

Art is for everybody.

Whoever is happy will make others happy.

You can never be lost when you learn to get lost into the blue of the sea..

I'll see it when I believe it

Let me tell you, life is interesting regardless of when you are in the fight.

Not since the Black Panthers sailed into their Upper East Side tea party has there been so daffy an exercise in radical chic.

I'm trying to give people the chance to put out their music without the bullshit pressures of other labels.

Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water.

I have been there, and still would go; 'T is like a little heaven below.

Love knows no virtue, no merit; it loves and forgives and tolerates everything because it must. We are not guided by reason.
