Sometimes commercial galleries ask for particular work to sell, but I try not to be bossed around by them. I didn't become an artist to get bossed around.

I'm never really that worried about doing something a little different, 'cause it always just seems to fit into what I want to do.

I like comedy but I guess I don't think [my art] is that funny, either. It's too dark and a bit weird in places to be genuinely, uniformly hilarious and function as comedy.

I'm not pretending to be somebody who's got really limited craft skills. I just am a person who's got really limited craft skills.

I'm definitely not an outsider artist. I'm very much an insider artist. I get written about in art magazines, and I'm not, like, in a mental institution. I'm a regular guy who went to art school.

I never sat down and decided to make work about life and death. It just all comes out of my head like water pouring out of a jug.

I don't like theorizing about my work myself, but that's not to say I have no interest in theory. Other people are free to say what they want about my work.

If the work jells a little bit in terms of being placed in the oeuvre, I don't care - as long as it works.

I don't think I've ever made any conscious decision to be a comic artist, but to me there's something quite anarchic about comedy.

I think my books are better than my exhibitions. If people don't like my books then I don't mind. I guess you like them enough to write an essay about them so that makes me pretty happy.

The camera is an eye that sees and records the lives of filthy people. Its pictures are hung in museums and published in thick books that future generations can see how horrible life was.

Hug is a holy kiss.

Remember, to get what you've never had, you must do what you've never done. But to get what you once had, you must do what you once did.

Chanel is above all a style. Fashion passes, style remains.

You dont live on the Earth you want, you live on the Earth you have.

Love comes quietly... / but you know when it is there.

I don't think anything less than perfect, even though I'm a human being. The way I work and go at things is to better myself in perfect terms.

If you want it to happen, you must make it happen. If you let it happen, you won't like what happened.

Hate is too strong of an emotion to waste on someone you don’t like

By nature, I think I am a pretty private person, and that is what is hard even doing interviews for films that I really love doing, because in some ways, it diminishes the experience that I had.

While Bradshaw applauded McNabb for playing hurt, he offered this dose of reality for the Eagles If he doesn't stay healthy, it's over, ... What are you going to do You roll the dice.
