With a brush you have control. The paint goes on the brush and you make the mark. From experience you know exactly what will happen. With the squeegee you lose control.

I don't create blurs. Blurring is not the most important thing; nor is it an identity tag for my pictures.

Art is the highest form of hope.

It is a danger to wait around for an idea to occur to you. You have to find the idea.

A lot of different things had to come together over the years, accumulated experiences of a general and personal nature, before the idea and the decision were developed and then carried out.

I like everything that has no style: dictionaries, photographs, nature, myself and my paintings. (Because style is violent, and I am not violent.)

I would like to try to understand what is. We know very little, and I am trying to do it by creating analogies. Almost every work of art is an analogy.

All photographs are far more important than any painting.

Picturing things, taking a view, is what makes us human; art is making sense and giving shape to that sense. It is like the religious search for God.

I want pictorial content without sentiment, but I want it as human as possible

Abstract pictures are fictive models, because they make visible a reality that we can neither see nor describe, but whose existence we can postulate.

Do it anyway. Fear will melt away.

Man is a genius when he dreams. Dream what you are capable of. The harder you dream it, the sooner it will come true.

Mostly, though, I dream of good things...I dream that flowers will bloom in the streets..again and music will play in the...houses and kites will fly in the skies.

Women asking for raises should not only know their value, but they should ask with the confidence that they're helping the company to be successful.

I am not looking for perfection. I look for the best in me.

And I loathe people who find it harder to put up with a gown askew than with a soul askew and who judge a man by his bow, his bearing and his boots.

Learn what you do not know. Understand the consequences of counting the moments.

When the divine vision is attained, all appear equal; and there remains no distinction of good and bad, or of high and low.

I like all Jim Carrey films. They're really funny.

It's important not to lose who you are in a relationship just because it's nice to cuddle with somebody.
