I don't labor over my drawings. I want to get freedom in the line.

The most pleasurable thing in the world, for me, is to see something and then translate how I see it.

I think that if you can turn off the mind and look only with the eyes, ultimately everything becomes abstract.

In drawing, I don't erase. I believe the original gesture has to be the best.

Making art has first of all to do with honesty. My first lesson was to see objectively, to erase all meaning of the thing seen. Then only could the real meaning of it be understood and felt.

The negative is just as important as the positive.

My forms are geometric, but they don't interact in a geometric sense. They're just forms that exist everywhere, even if you don't see them.

Photography isolates the world via an aperture and gives the photographer the means to see differently, to achieve a spontaneous vision that is direct and uncompromising.

I noticed that the large windows between the paintings [in the Musee d'Art Moderne] interested me more than the art exhibited. From then on, painting as I had known it was finished for me.

I felt that everything is beautiful, but that which man tries intentionally to make beautiful; that the work of an ordinary bricklayer is more valid than the artwork of all but a very few artists.

I'm not interested in the texture of a rock, but in its shadow.

Maybe you who condemn me are in greater fear than I who am condemned.

How could she just leave me here to live without her? I miss her so much. I love her. I want her to grow up and become who she was meant to be. I wanted her to grow up with me.

Love is like an hourglass with the heart filling up as the brain empties.

I get up in the morning, have a job to do, go there, come home, be with the family, that's it.

I don't really understand the point about carping about every casualty, every bombing, every death. War is hell. That's why people say war is hell.

Lois pursues the truth no matter what sort of adversity faces her. I think Superman sees that, and it's the same moral compass that he has from the Kents.

You can wear ruffles; you can be a jock, and you can still be a great computer scientist, or a great technologist, or a great product designer.

I am lucky. I am fortunate. I found the love of my life.

Men shut their doors against a setting sun.

80 percent of the balls that don't reach the hole, don't go in.
