Normally my head is always filled with art ideas and things that I have to do, deadlines that I have to meet.

I like contrasting between black and white and color.

I know where the mistakes are. Nothing is perfect and I understand that.

I try not to manipulate reality... What will happen, will happen. Let things be themselves.

I like the work hanging free in the frame. I don't like too much frame around it but I like a little breathing space around the piece.

I like working late at night and then going into the house and sitting down and watching a movie and then going to sleep.

I had always worked. I always had part-time jobs.

I relied mainly on other artists, who I think are smarter than critics, any critics or curators or anybody like that. They really know.

I liked the idea of the words floating in space and the space behind it moving all the time, ever changing.

Love is the active concern for the life and the growth of that which we love. Where this active concern is lacking, there is no love.

From all that I saw, and everywhere I wandered, I learned that time cannot be spent, It only can be squandered.

The greatest danger in finding the right path often lies in here: The right path may look ugly and the wrong path may look beautiful!

I've dealt with a lot of bullshit because of the way I look and a lot of misconceptions about what people should be afraid of.

I have everything I had twenty years ago, only it's all a little bit lower.

[Without Pope John Paul II] there would be no end of Communism or at least much later, and the end would have been bloody.

It may seem like I'm overlooking a technical detail or a spec change, but at the end of the day I'm mostly going to be talking about the final result, with a few exceptions.

Things that seem incredibly different can really be manifestations of the same underlying phenomena.

The popular song is America's greatest ambassador.

Wisely weigh our sorrow with our comfort.
