I like comedy but I guess I don't think [my art] is that funny, either. It's too dark and a bit weird in places to be genuinely, uniformly hilarious and function as comedy.

I'm never really that worried about doing something a little different, 'cause it always just seems to fit into what I want to do.

I'm not pretending to be somebody who's got really limited craft skills. I just am a person who's got really limited craft skills.

I'm definitely not an outsider artist. I'm very much an insider artist. I get written about in art magazines, and I'm not, like, in a mental institution. I'm a regular guy who went to art school.

I never sat down and decided to make work about life and death. It just all comes out of my head like water pouring out of a jug.

I don't like theorizing about my work myself, but that's not to say I have no interest in theory. Other people are free to say what they want about my work.

If the work jells a little bit in terms of being placed in the oeuvre, I don't care - as long as it works.

I don't think I've ever made any conscious decision to be a comic artist, but to me there's something quite anarchic about comedy.

I think my books are better than my exhibitions. If people don't like my books then I don't mind. I guess you like them enough to write an essay about them so that makes me pretty happy.

The camera is an eye that sees and records the lives of filthy people. Its pictures are hung in museums and published in thick books that future generations can see how horrible life was.

The work, I suppose, is made in the editing, whereby I make literally hundreds of drawings, and then a much smaller percentage of those become the finished work.

Anger repressed can poison a relationship as surely as the crudest words.

Travel on your define path.

It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.

The federal government has a responsibility to protect all Americans from potential terrorist attack.

The lessons we learn from patience will cultivate our character, lift our lives, and heighten our happiness.

I don't like animation. I hate animation, actually.

Politicians do nothing but ask of us, during every expiration of a legal statute, "a gesture of trust." But here trust is not enough; what's needed is an act of faith.

It is important for everybody to insure that the process will go on, that the ceasefire will hold. Of course, there is no ceasefire against Daesh [the Islamic State], Jabhat al Nusra, and Al Qaeda.

The Apple store is not a store. It is an exercise in evangelism.

Continually revise your relationship to God until the only certainty you have is not that you are faithful, but that He is.
