If the affairs of the world were put in the hands of the screwball artists, it couldn’t be in a worse state than it is now !

I would photograph an idea rather than an object, a dream rather than an idea.

Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.

A camera alone does not make a picture. To make a picture you need a camera, a photographer and above all a subject. It is the subject that determines the interest of the photograph.

When I saw I was under attack from all sides, I knew I was on the right track.

My works were designed to amuse, annoy, bewilder, mystify and inspire reflection.

To me, a painter, if not the most useful, is the least harmful member of our society.

Nature does not create works of art. It is we, and the faculty of interpretation peculiar to the human mind, that see art.

To create is divine, to reproduce is human.

I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.

I have been accused of being a joker. But the most successful art to me involves humor.

Poets make the best topographers.

I would say for the young: Don't be straight jacketed by ideology. Don't be driven by a structure of ideas.

I like Twitter a lot. It is a great way to get the fans knowing another side of you.

Unfortunately, I suffer from insomnia, so my bedtime is as soon as I start to feel the least bit sleepy.

There was never a really serious, thought-out process for delivering arms appropriately.

The good teachers are bailing out. Education is very important.... This should be the centerpiece on the table of Texas.

Do I prefer to grow up and relate to life directly, or do I choose to live and die in fear?

Be thankful for your loved ones and tell them you love them.

I'm always perpetually out of my comfort zone.

There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.
