There should be something revelatory about art. It should be totally creative and open doors for new thoughts and experiences.

Art is like a lover whom you run away from but who comes back and picks you up.

It's my memory, and what happened between that moment 10 or 15 years ago and now, there's a lot of gray area

Most people don't do something seminal. I've done it twice: with my tent and my bed. Picasso did it with Cubism.

When it comes to words I have a uniqueness that I find almost impossible in art – and it's my words that actually make my art quite unique.

What's really good about the word 'art' is that 'art' is a word like 'love,' or 'god,' or whatever. It transcends so many things.

What is truth? Truth doesn't really exist. Who is going to judge whether my experience of an incident is more valid than yours? No one can be trusted to be the judge of that.

The words went round and round and round in my mind and my body, until I knew they were no longer my words but something that had been carved into my heart. And now my soul was crying.

There is nothing difficult about my work, and people get to hear it from me.

I feel physically ill if I don't make work, I don't create. I don't feel very good. I don't feel right, I feel wrong.

I'm not opposed to commerce, even though I'm an artist.

We live by a perceptual "map" which is never reality itself.

Failure for one is a source of creativity, build on it and a different story will puzzle itself.

I am very proud of the campaign we ran and the supporters that came on board.

In songs, you have to tell people about something they didn't see and weren't there for, and you have to do it as if you were.

Journey into the beautiful dream that is life...the end is only the beginning.

Unfortunately, I am not like a snail or a turtle, and I can't take my houses with me when I move.

I think we're coming to a place where we're saying all war is wrong. We might even learn something about the sensationalism we get caught up in with people like Donald Trump.

That what will come, and must come, shall come well.

I tend to enjoy proving people wrong.

O sir, we should have fine times, indeed, if, to punish tyrants, it were only sufficient to assemble the people! Your arms, wherewith you could defend yourselves, are gone.
