It's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.

I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.

I have always been aware that you have to get people listening before you can change their minds. Any artist's big fear is being ignored, so if you get debate, that's great.

It's very easy to say, 'I could have done that,' after someone's done it. But I did it. You didn't. It didn't exist until I did it.

I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.

Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.

You've really got to get down on the floor with yourself and get low in order to make great art. I think you've just got to accept who you are and do the most unbelievable things.

I sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.

I believe all painting and art should be uplifting for the viewer.

I love color. I feel it inside me. It gives me a buzz.

I realised that you couldn't use the tools of yesterday to communicate today's world. Basically, that was the big light that went on in my head.

You need to study all the details of how you can achieve your goal

Human nature is not nearly as bad as it has been thought to be.

People will urge you to go to school. They’ll tell you an American education is useful. That is not true. That is 80’s. You are here to hustle.

Don't try and understand this with your mind. There will be no absolute knowing, no certainty in these thoughts and philosophies and ideas.

People only accept change when they are faced with necessity, and only recognize necessity when a crisis is upon them.

Textbooks don't teach people how to avoid paying any income tax. But that's what an army of tax lawyers and corporate tax accountants do.

Neither marriage's heart nor adventure are found in the banner days, those events we record and look back on. The glory is the ordinary.

An amazing invention - but who would ever want to use one?

The more you speak more languages, the more you understand about yourself. It's like being blind. You aren't less of a person, but you're missing out on wonderful things.

Proper deformity shows not in the fiend So horrid as in woman.
