For me, art is always a kind of theater.

It's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.

I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.

I have always been aware that you have to get people listening before you can change their minds. Any artist's big fear is being ignored, so if you get debate, that's great.

It's very easy to say, 'I could have done that,' after someone's done it. But I did it. You didn't. It didn't exist until I did it.

I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.

Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.

You've really got to get down on the floor with yourself and get low in order to make great art. I think you've just got to accept who you are and do the most unbelievable things.

I sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.

I believe all painting and art should be uplifting for the viewer.

I love color. I feel it inside me. It gives me a buzz.

Valor is a gift. Those having it never know for sure if they have it till the test comes. And those having it in one test never know for sure if they will have it when the next test comes.

The power of the periodical press is second only to that of the people.

When you really get technique... there is no strength that will stop you.

Religious people are not entitled to special rights, even if they are elected leaders or in the majority; they are not allowed to force everyone to support their religion.

We should see the desire for neatness, the desire for sharp impressions, as a desire in art.

Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights.

The reaction that a ruthless dictator sets up in us either that of awe or pity according respectively as we react to him violently on nonviolently.

I need something bigger than myself. And the only thing that can be would be a child. Someone who would help me live even more selflessly.

A man's opinions are generally of much more value than his arguments.

I see planets that don't exist and landscapes that have only been dreamed.
