I didn't like hovering above myself and looking back, or going through a door and thinking, How many times did I just go through that door? How do I get back? You know, that's not for me.

I never had a penny to my name, so I changed my name.

We do not make art. We have unnamable motors and dangerous impulses that occupy our thoughts.

It would be strange for me to think I'm being ripped off, because that's what I do!

Is passion what we are? Is that what we are in pictures? Is what we are in pictures almost real? Maybe it's become the most real thing.

The subject comes first, the medium second.

I wouldn't mind people saying, "You can't do this because this isn't enough."

A lot of it's experimental, spontaneous. It's about knocking about in the studio and bumping into things.

The way you would know if someone is famous in the art world is that you would ask your mother. My mother knows who Picasso was. She knows who Warhol was.

The problem is not just the wrong ormistake that you did but the correction, /right you refused to do.

Being this close to him was like sitting under a hotness heat lamp. In the desert. At high noon.

My kid asked if he could borrow ten dollars. When I only gave him five dollars he said "Okay since you owe me the other five dollars we'll call it even."

To sin is to be off the mark, that is, to inhibit development, contracting backward into regression rather than expanding forward into growth.

And I think I'm an adrenaline junkie, and there's nothing that will spike your adrenaline more than sitting in a theater and listen to an audience react to something you've written.

I have no desire to make windows into men's souls.

As high as Heaven, as deep as Hell.

I can keep learning about all the different technologies. It's my most telling characteristic. I'm interested in trying anything new.

In the end the question is: Who is to be master, man or his machines? As long as the control over technology rests primarily on economic calculation, the victor is not likely to be man.

There's no point in being scared of just trying.
