I've never been a representational artist at all. Most artists have been representational. That's when you discover yourself.

Art is the exclusion of the unnecessary.

A man climbs a mountain because it is there. An artist makes a work of art because it is not there.

My art springs from my desire to have things in the world which would otherwise never be there.

Art is an intersection of many human needs.

What do little kids do? They crawl on the floor and they build with blocks. I just continued to do that for the rest of my life.

Art is what we do. Culture is what is done to us. A photograph of an art object is not the art object. An essay about an artist's work is not the artist's work.

A place is an area within an environment that has been altered in such a way to make the general environment more conspicuous.

Once you turn something into something, its universal usage is over.

Why carve? It's a better sculpture that way. I'll never improve the block. So I just started using uncarved blocks.

If you're any good as an artist, you have to be doing something nobody else has interest in. Nobody would be interested in my work except a few crazy people.

How to "change the world" in two words: S.T.A.R.T. N.O.W.1. START - Serve. Thank. Ask. Receive. Trust.2. NOW - No Opportunity Wasted

Don't allow others to make you feel small. You came to this world to grow and to explore and touch the miracles and marvels of life.

What each individual wills is obstructed by everyone else, and what emerges is something that no one willed.

When a man's best friend is his dog, that dog has a problem.

When you do music, your friends are writers, actors, painters. It's all under the sameroof. So anything creative is interesting to me.

I was never violent. I denounced even back then violence and left it because I didn't want to be associated with that kind of taint.

A Bat meeting any one running away, signifies an evasion: for although she have no wings, yet she flies.

To me, defense is a mental attitude…it takes will and heart to go out there and lock your man up.

The government of Rwanda, which is a US client, is intervening massively, and Uganda to an extent. It's almost an international war in Africa. Well, how many people know about this?

The most pernicious of absurdities is that weak, blind, stupid faith is better than the constant practice of every human virtue.
