One of the interesting things about skateboarding and graffiti is that skateboarding exists in the documentation of an act.

After pop art, graffiti is probably the biggest art movement in recent history to have such an impact on culture.

Graffiti doesn't exist unless someone got a photo, because it's gone immediately.

I believe that an art exhibition can be engaging, fun and deeply intellectually satisfying and serious. These are not contradictory concepts in art.

In the 1970s when I started in the art world, no self-respecting artist would have stood in line to try to get on a television show. It never would have happened.

There is a constant ebb and flow in art historical reputations. The reputation of even the greatest figures like Picasso are in flux.

Every day you run into artists on the streets in SoHo or other creative people you want to do something with. There's nothing to match that chance encounter.

Street culture is punk, hip-hop, skateboarding, surfing, graffiti. It's like a massive global culture that is all tied together. But for so many years it was very geographic.

When skateboarding and punk merged, it really became a large teen subculture.

Dennis Hopper is one of the great American lives.

Art dealing is when you're doing it as a business.

Behind the clouds is the sun still shining.

What we need is endless courage.

I would rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not.

If someone listens to our music, and it makes them creative, that makes me happier than anything.

I've been working since I was 14, and my father, being very conservative, has always been strict about my having a savings account.

See shades of grey... Act anyway

We always had our own vegetables growing up and now I'm doing it with my kids at our house in the country.

I ain't calling me God. I'm just doing my part on where I think hip hop should go. I think hip hop should be about more money, crazier sounds, different beats.

I squeeze oranges every morning to make juice.
