I know where the mistakes are. Nothing is perfect and I understand that.

I like contrasting between black and white and color.

I try not to manipulate reality... What will happen, will happen. Let things be themselves.

I like the work hanging free in the frame. I don't like too much frame around it but I like a little breathing space around the piece.

I like working late at night and then going into the house and sitting down and watching a movie and then going to sleep.

I had always worked. I always had part-time jobs.

I relied mainly on other artists, who I think are smarter than critics, any critics or curators or anybody like that. They really know.

I liked the idea of the words floating in space and the space behind it moving all the time, ever changing.

Developing your own style became something very interesting, very important to me.

Nothing but your choices define your life.

I took up leprosy work. Not to help anyone, but to overcome that fear in my life. That it worked out good for others was a by-product. But the fact is: I did it to overcome fear.

I didn't dare to dream of making money. But now of course, I've made many thousands of dollars sharpening pencils.

Will is guided by wisdom. Wisdom comes from introspection, looking inside yourself, probing, studying the wisdom of the teachers, the masters and bringing that into your mind.

I don't have any intention to stop. Rock 'n' roll is my main concern.

I don't really see a difference in independent and major labels. To me, it's pretty much the same. There used to be a difference between indies and major labels, but I don't think there is anymore.

The present is always invisible because its environmental. No environment is perceptible, simply because it saturates the whole field of attention.

Smoking cigarettes seems to alarm peace activists much more than voting for Reagan does.

Live creatively. Create life. These are two ways to make a better world.
