I'm hoping to make a new thing for the world that remains in the mind like a new species of living thing.

I destroy things every day in the act of working and often recall a picture I had considered finished in order to rework it.

If you pass something every day and it has a little character, it begins to intrigue you.

Real style is not having a program - it's how one behaves in a crisis.

Ideally, one should have more material than one can possibly cope with.

In addition to the artistic influences, I am influenced by my current private life, my feelings about it and my energy level and state of health.

It seems to me madness to wake up in the morning and do something other than paint, considering that one may not wake up the following morning.

Falsehood always punishes itself.

The unity in any painter's work arises from the fact that a person, brought to a desperate situation, will behave in a certain way... style.

I go out each morning and draw. I can't really start a painting in the morning until I've done a drawing.

I never work with an audience - I can't do this. The process depends on the highest degree of nervous concentration.

I commend my soul to any god that can find it.

Power engenders the evil-minded who ill-treat the needy in all parts of the world.

I have a theory that theories are destructive.

Sometimes I wish I could walk around with a HANDLE WITH CARE sign stuck to my forehead.

When there is an original sound in the world, it makes a hundred echoes.

Happy Anniversary, my darling Here's to a day that's filled with fun While we joyously remember When us two became a one

It's so amazing. I mean talk about sexuality changing.

The devil is not, indeed, perfectly humorous, but that is only because he is the extreme of all humor.

Whenever I see young girls wearing way too much makeup... you're young, you don't need that much.
