Humor and laughter - not necessarily derogatory derision - are my pet tools. This may come from my general philosophy of never taking the world too seriously - for fear of dying of boredom.

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.

I don't like sympathetic characters.

When the Divine Artist would produce a poem, He plants a germ of it in a human soul, and out of that soul the poem springs and grows as from the rose-tree the rose.

People wish their enemies dead - but I do not; I say give them the gout, give them the stone!

The bottom line is what we do might not be the safest so there is always some risk but we are ready to take that into account because we love racing and we love motor sports and it is dangerous.
