I try to make images that have the immediate presence we take for granted in objects - a chair, a shoe, a book, a Judd - and compose them like sentences.

'Understanding' art is like having a sense of humour - if you don't have one, no amount of explanation is going to make you laugh.

I thought the objects we value least because they were ubiquitous were actually the most extraordinary.

You can see in my paintings, I've taken away the context, I've taken away the shadows, I've taken away expression, I've taken away the personal, and yet so much remains!

The art world, of all worlds, has room for everyone.

I am trying to present objects in the simplest way possible, and I don't want to supply too much context.

Whatever happens to the art world, art will go on regardless. As for obscurity, it looms just over the horizon beckoning us all. Why worry.

I think the best approach is not to be too much like the thing that they are referring to, see it as a guide.

Art is more to do with observation than invention.

If things are too similar, the dialogue is not very interesting. If you put in contrast, big and small, abstract and representational, you set up the possibility of a discourse.

If you close the door to the things you feel comfortable with, you will never discover the truth about yourself.

I trust God that through all life changes, He is in control.

The world’s greatest achievers have been those who have always stayed focussed on their goals and have been consistent in their efforts.

We don't shoot somebody soon, I'm gonna forget how

All I can do is act according to my deepest instinct and be whatever I must be-crazy or ribald or sad or compassionate or loving or indifferent. That is all anybody can do.

But all the long speeches, all the interminable days and hours that people had spent talking about my soul, had left me with the impression of a colorless swirling river that was making me dizzy.

I am a mystery to myself.

I'm on a seafood diet - I see food, I eat it.

I feel like I'm giving other people such an opportunity to go and reach for something.

Seungri, are you listening? I love you.

United [Airlines] sucks, man. I've got like a million miles and they never bump me to first class because they think I'm just a kid and give the seat to some schmoozy guy in a business suit.
