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 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.

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.

I realised that you couldn't use the tools of yesterday to communicate today's world. Basically, that was the big light that went on in my head.

Desperation makes men fearless

The hardest challenge being an HR is that sometimes you have to be the LAWYER, the JUDGE and the HANGMAN.

Our ignorance of history makes us libel our own times. People have always been like this.

It is a misfortune of the times that all of us must needs be amateur economists-including, and perhaps especially, the professionals.

Well as much as I'm sure the people next door who are pretending they aren't looking at me would like to hear what I have to say, I'd rather say it to just you.

Not even nothingness preceded life. Nothingness owes its very idea to existence.

Just real. I want to have the freedom to do whatever I want. And more importantly, I want to have the freedom to bring everyone else along with me.

Only people who look dull ever get into the House of Commons, and only people who are dull ever succeed there.

If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done.

The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on the horizon.
