I'm my own worst critic. I mean, I know what's wrong with everything that I've done.

I like contrasting between black and white and color.

I know where the mistakes are. Nothing is perfect and I understand that.

I try not to manipulate reality... What will happen, will happen. Let things be themselves.

I like the work hanging free in the frame. I don't like too much frame around it but I like a little breathing space around the piece.

I like working late at night and then going into the house and sitting down and watching a movie and then going to sleep.

I had always worked. I always had part-time jobs.

I relied mainly on other artists, who I think are smarter than critics, any critics or curators or anybody like that. They really know.

I liked the idea of the words floating in space and the space behind it moving all the time, ever changing.

And we live in a kind of realm of language and words and so forth. So we can sort of relate to them. They don't exist without us. We create words.

Art was something that I was really interested in, probably more so than writing or anything else.

The standard clauses of the American dream only included two weeks of vacation a year.

I don't want to be the one to break it to you, but the future ain't that funny.

Time is but a thought, a means of measurement, not a reality.

I think it's a novelty for cartoon characters to cross over into another strip or panel occasionally.

The glory of science is to imagine more than we can prove.

I have a photograph of my grandfather driving a donkey cart barefoot.

It doesn't take any imagination at all to feel awed

A ready person never needs to get ready.

Next to God, love is the word most mangled in every language. The highest form of regard between two people is friendship, and when love enters, friendship dies.

I am a freeman and jolly as a beggar.
