When I met Steve Kaufman, I thought he was Gene Simmons, but what an artist talent he is. He will be an art force in the art world to deal with.

My work isn't about form. It's about seeing. I'm excited about seeing things, and I'm interested in the way I think other people see things.

Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesnt look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.

I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.

There must be something about art... almost all cultures have done art. It's a refining of the senses, which are there to keep us alive. As far as we know, no other animals do that.

Organized perception is what art is all about.

I'm never drawing the object itself; I'm only drawing a depiction of the object - a kind of crystallized symbol of it.

Use the worst colour you can find in each place - it usually is the best.

Art doesn't transform. It just plain forms.

Outside is the world; it's there. Pop Art looks out into the world.

I am master of my spoken words and slave to those which remain unspoken.

A character is defined by the kinds of challenges he cannot walk away from.

If you're old, don't try to change yourself, change your environment.

Why is it always the "intelligent" people who are socialists?

Failures not a bad thing. It builds character. It makes you stronger.

You know when you're a kid and you think, 'Oh no, I've got double math, this is never gonna end,' but then it ends, and it's like it never happened? That's like life.

Remember the enemy of all painting is gray: a painting will almost always appear grayer than it is, on account of its oblique position under the light.

You might be a redneck if your anniversary present was getting the septic tank pumped.

In front of the coffee tablethere is a neon-pink stump stool, which I bought because my friend Amanda Brooks told me that every house has to have a 'wart,' or one really ugly piece.

I guess there seems to be clubs opening up again, which is strange.
