There has to be an element of risk-taking for me in my work.

Mostly, drawings are things I make for myself - I do them in sketchbooks. They are mental experiments - private inner thoughts when I'm not sure what will come out.

It's the procedures in and for themselves that interest me. The picture isn't really necessary.

What interests me is the unforeseeable.

I don't see a big difference between painting and photography. Moreover, such distinctions mean nothing to me.

Yes, my works... are enshrined in museums, but I don't care if the pieces fall apart in 20 years.

I’m a believer in luck and think the social conditions you’re born into provide the opportunity for you to prove your luck. And I suppose I’ve been lucky.

A negative is never finished.

Picabia is a very old painter who some people try to connect me to, but I refuse such comparisons very well.

I began drawing as a very young child and had a grandfather who experimented with photography, so those things constituted my first exposure to art.

When I was young, I was interested in Renaissance art.

Books will never die out as long as there are people around.

There isn’t a viler creature on earth than a politician who sends the children of others to the war but not his own children!

It's what we think of ourselves that matter!

It means, Day, that you're dying.

Following a code of silence, you're never gonna lose the anger.

I'm asking the American people to rise above the noise and the clutter of our broken politics.

I like the Wu Tang Clan a lot.

I'm a very binary person in a bad way where it's like everything is either totally great or totally awful.

In my experience, it's not just that serious books get a hearing on comedy shows. But serious books get a serious hearing, as well as a funny one, on comedy shows.

Attract them by the way you live.
