Artists of the world arise - it's time to dump your dealers.

As a comic book artist, once you become a master, you end up a slave. In fine art you're always free... since I couldn't make it at Marvel, I made my life a carnival.

Out of routine comes inspiration.

Teaching, the most noble profession, should be rewarded based on merit alone, not seniority.

It's very true that an artist who networks well will have better opportunities than one who doesn't network well. But great networking skills without great art won't change art history.

I'm an artist because that's what I was best at as a kid. It was fun... I continue to be an artist... for the freedom that an art career can bring. I don't need an alarm clock and I am my own boss.

I really believe in my work and in no way think I'm taking advantage of anyone. I feel generous when selling my art.

I'm not sure what [my latest works are] about but I'm convinced they're the best things I've done and I'm going to the world's best museums with them.

Do what you love. Go to a good art school and study with the best teachers. Move to New York and read Ask Mark Kostabi.

The press needs stories constantly. No need to bleed, just feed. Branding will keep you standing... Get press not stress.

There's too much negativity in the world. Staying positive is a better investment.

I will age for you, if it pleases you. I will match you, wrinkle for wrinkle, grey hair for grey hair, crease for crease, wrinkle for wrinkle. You will be so beautiful when you are old.

I have an attitude. It's what I do. I'm edgy. I have an attitude.

Long after one has forgotten what a woman wore, the memory of her perfume lingers.

Everything I've experienced, things that my friends have experienced and we talk about, things that are on the news - all aspects of life are in my message.

Celibacy goes deeper than the flesh.

To live without killing is a thought which could electrify the world, if men were only capable of staying awake long enough to let the idea soak in.

Only peons made excusses for themselves she taught me. Never apologize, never explain.

A little attention, a pat on the head, and a kind word every now and then is all your dog asks.

The last show we played, I was straight as a die. It did feel weird not to be hiding behind alcohol or dope, but being focused was... good.

Inspiration is just one requirement for being a writer. Another is keeping regular working hours.
