A number of artists have done things with Mickey Mouse - including Claes Oldenburg and Andy Warhol. He's such an American symbol, and such an anti-art symbol.

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.

I'd always wanted to know the difference between a mark that was art and one that wasn't.

Art doesn't transform. It just plain forms.

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

God loves a prayer of action.

God never gives you more than you can handle. It's your choice on how you deal with what he gives you. You can either grow from it, or you can lie down and give up.

I'm very secure about my talents and about who I am.

But I have told the truth. Isn't that ironic? They sent me because I am so good at telling lies. But I have told the truth.

There are so many traps. There are so many opportunities. Life is a river and we take our boat and we go down it.

Put temptation on the unenjoyment line.

To this day, I'm not as interested in music as people think. I'm more interested in how close we can get through the music.

I'm not John Lennon. I'm John Lennox. Now, 'imagine a world without' Stalin. The New Atheists are often silent about [the wrong done by atheists].

I had a tough career. I then resolved to find peace. And, I finally found Islam.

I love being in my kitchen. I'm quite a traditional cook, but I make a mean omelette. I'd like to open an omelette restaurant. Cheese and ham, chilli and mushroom, whatever you fancy, I'll rustle up.
