I know how art has come in and really changed my life, so to give these children that opportunity just to come into contact with art - that's wonderful.

Art is something that happens inside us. We look at things in the world, and we become excited by them. We understand our own possibilities of becoming. And that's what art is.

Art to me is a humanitarian act and I believe that there is a responsibility that art should somehow be able to effect mankind, to make the word a better place.

I'm making some of the greatest art being made now. It'll take the art world ten years to get around to it.

Art is about profundity. It's about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.

Art is obsolete now. New technologies are taking over.

Art has this ability to allow you to connect back through history in the same way that biology does. I'm always looking for source material.

The media, the galleries, the collectors - it's all very chaotic actually. The artworld doesn't have this defined corporate structure that people imagine.

Every day I wake up and I really try to pinch myself to take advantage of today and to use that freedom of gesture to do what I really like to do.

I think about my work every minute of the day.

I love the gallery, the arena of representation. It's a commercial world, and morality is based generally around economics, and that's taking place in the art gallery.

Canada is a collection often provinces with strong governments loosely connected by fear.

I foresee a great funeral contest over me.

English grammar is so complex and confusing for the one very simple reason that its rules and terminology are based on Latin, a language with which it has precious little in common.

Monotheism owes its existence not to philosophic speculation about the nature of reality or knowledge or virtue, but to acceptance of reality identified with a supreme being.

It makes me laugh when you bring two things together which have nothing to do with one another.

Rowing harder doesn't help if the boat is headed in the wrong direction.

The days of my youth I remember as nearly always in need of explanation, and not as much fun as advertised in the promotions for board games and breakfast cereal.

A satyagrahi has infinite patience, abundant faith in others, and ample hope.

For punches I never really choose, I take whatever opportunity is given to me. If it's a left, I'll take it. If it's a right I'll take it.

I have been a multitude of shapes, Before I assumed a consistent form.
