The problem with prostitution in my experience is that it's often unsatisfying.

I find it very difficult to be funny, it's much easier to do tragedy than it is to do comedy.

When I was in my early twenties I was doing tenant organizing - rent strikes, specifically - in my building. I think that was how I started doing poster art. It was something very concrete.

I think for an artist there are so many things to make pictures of now, that everyone else may be suffering, but at least artists will just be stimulated by it all.

Art grabs people by their eyeballs, it seduces them ... art is a means to an end rather than simply an end in itself.

Illustrators are usually illustrating something big or commercial if not outright advertising. It's a form of prostitution, but that's cool because we don't have any moral hang-up about it.

I don't even believe in magic, or ghosts or anything like that, and yet in a city like New York, on the subway, I definitely see ghosts and art seems to have some magical properties.

Whether it's a street poster on a brick wall, a magazine cover on a newsstand, or animation on a movie screen - art is an effective means of communicating with large numbers of people.

I think so much of art is unconscious anyway, the artist doesn't know the real reason they're doing it. They're just kind of going along with it intuitively.

Art is one of the few ways we have of dealing with things that frighten or anger us.

What you are afraid to do is a clear indicator of the next thing you need to do.

We have also set up the national institute for ethics. This institute and also the implementation of the national integrity plan, that will certainly do the follow up that is necessary for this.

For what we think and feel and are is to a great extent determined by the state of our ductless glands and our viscera.

Technology changing the world so quickly. I think it's even more difficult for older people to keep up in the world. And that's a challenge.

"What do you want out of life?" I asked, and I used to ask that all the time of girls.

In retrospect it always seems to work out that you can look back on something that was a disaster and find some gems in there.

I know no national boundary where the Negro is concerned. The whole world is my province until Africa is free.

Is there some society you know of that doesn't run on greed? You think Russia doesn't run on greed? You think China doesn't run on greed? What is greed?

What about my brain? What about my heart? What about my kidneys and my gallbladder?
