I never ever approached a dealer. I have always been approached by dealers or curators or whatever.

I like contrasting between black and white and color.

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

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.

And we live in a kind of realm of language and words and so forth. So we can sort of relate to them. They don't exist without us. We create words.

Art was something that I was really interested in, probably more so than writing or anything else.

My darling, pray daily for me, this is my special request.

God bless my soul.

I'm great at lying to myself.

Metaphors are dangerous. Metaphors are not to be trifled with.

It is only what is written upon the soul of man that will survive the wreck of time.

If fashion pollutes it should no longer be called fashion, it should be called pollution.

I'm creating songs. I do it most of the time, in the car or in the house.

To gain the acceptance of your peers is an admirable task, but to truly accept yourself requires a much higher standard.
