It is the spectators who make the pictures.

I don't believe in art. I believe in artists.

The artist performs only one part of the creative process. The onlooker completes it, and it is the onlooker who has the last word.

Anything is art if an artist says it is.

It's not what you see that is art. Art is the gap.

Artmaking is making the invisible, visible.

I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.

Destruction is also creation.

Living is more a question of what one spends than what one makes.

Greatness is an opiate.

I never saw, heard, nor read, that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular, but some degree of persecution.

There's always a time for change, and you should never be frightened of it.

I love proving people wrong.

I've worked in the theater, television, and films. A five-hour TV series is certainly more time than a character I'd be playing in a film.

You can do only one thing at a time. I simply tackle one problem and concentrate all efforts on what I am doing at the moment.

Instead of poor America on socialism becoming more like rich America on capitalism, rich America on capitalism is becoming like poor America on socialism.
