I find it very difficult to be funny, it's much easier to do tragedy than it is to do comedy.

When I was in my early twenties I was doing tenant organizing - rent strikes, specifically - in my building. I think that was how I started doing poster art. It was something very concrete.

I think for an artist there are so many things to make pictures of now, that everyone else may be suffering, but at least artists will just be stimulated by it all.

Art grabs people by their eyeballs, it seduces them ... art is a means to an end rather than simply an end in itself.

Illustrators are usually illustrating something big or commercial if not outright advertising. It's a form of prostitution, but that's cool because we don't have any moral hang-up about it.

I don't even believe in magic, or ghosts or anything like that, and yet in a city like New York, on the subway, I definitely see ghosts and art seems to have some magical properties.

Whether it's a street poster on a brick wall, a magazine cover on a newsstand, or animation on a movie screen - art is an effective means of communicating with large numbers of people.

I think so much of art is unconscious anyway, the artist doesn't know the real reason they're doing it. They're just kind of going along with it intuitively.

Art is one of the few ways we have of dealing with things that frighten or anger us.

Art is one of the few places where you can put it in a constructive way where it won't burn you up inside or hurt anyone.

Artists always live in the cracks anyway, whatever culture they're in. They're usually accustomed to not having much money, to kind of roughing it.

The stronger you become, the lower your voice become.

My Christian faith teaches me marriage is between man and a woman. I'm not evolving with the polls. I'm not changing like Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

Truly charismatic people, in my experience, dont come along very often.

Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is no mere translation or abstraction from life; it is life itself.

The more you care, the stronger you can be.

A lot of people wonder how a 21-year-old with average power (I finished 89th in driving distance) can be so successful. The answer is simple: I know how to score.

When you turn professional, you become an entertainer, and like every other entertainer, you don't want to get a bad review.

Beauty is the radiance of truth, and the frangrance of goodness.
