I enjoy all mediums, and I have to say, music is the medium that first made me understand how powerful art could be.

Art is something that happens inside us. We look at things in the world, and we become excited by them. We understand our own possibilities of becoming. And that's what art is.

Art to me is a humanitarian act and I believe that there is a responsibility that art should somehow be able to effect mankind, to make the word a better place.

I'm making some of the greatest art being made now. It'll take the art world ten years to get around to it.

Art is about profundity. It's about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.

Art is obsolete now. New technologies are taking over.

Art has this ability to allow you to connect back through history in the same way that biology does. I'm always looking for source material.

The media, the galleries, the collectors - it's all very chaotic actually. The artworld doesn't have this defined corporate structure that people imagine.

Every day I wake up and I really try to pinch myself to take advantage of today and to use that freedom of gesture to do what I really like to do.

I think about my work every minute of the day.

I know how art has come in and really changed my life, so to give these children that opportunity just to come into contact with art - that's wonderful.

We have to believe that the thought we have is piecing together for us the thing we are thinking of and is actually carrying it closer and closer to us!

It smelled of oily flowers, like the worn pillowcases of long-ago lovers.

Yesterday is ashes tomorrow wood. Only today does the fire burn brightly.

I do the very best I know how - the very best I can and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.

I'm trying to preach the idea that if we don't pay attention to history we're destined to repeat it.

I love Disneyland because the teacups are so awesome. But California Adventure is the best.

Thomas Jefferson survives.

Good design doesn't cost, but it pays.

COUGHS. These are symptoms, not diseases. Take them to your doctor and he can give you something serious to worry about.

A true teacher doesn't teach you to think like him, but to think without him.
