I love to be challenged. I like to be in places where I don't have easy ways out; it's either I do it or I don't and, in my mind, I don't really have the option of don't.

If I'm good at something, I'm good at something, and if I'm bad at something, I'm just bad at something. Gender shouldn't have anything to do with any of my work or anything I produce or create.

Every artist, to me, should know why they're doing what they're doing. You shouldn't create simply because it sounds good to you. That's not a real response to me.

I suppose I like to give people something to talk and think about. I can just be the person that kind of put a message in the bottle to see where it ends up.

One can't do anything without a man. Men know so much, and are able to get information in so many ways that are simply impossible to women.

I am first of all a white man, and only then a socialist.

What man really wishes to do he will find a means of doing.

William Shakespeare...was baptized on April 26, 1564. When he was born is disputed, but anyone who argues that it was after this date is just being difficult.

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

Reality isn't a vast, fixed scheme trapping you without choice. At any moment you have the choice to break out of what is really trapping you-your automatic reactions dredged up from the past.

Our whole economy and society is already being changed by the fact that we have increasing unemployment, mass unemployment and that's what we're facing in the future because of increasing automation.

A bad cause seldom fails to betray itself.

When I start doing a body of work I feel vulnerable, fearful. If I stopped trusting the process, I would stop doing art.
