One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.

The art world seems so much bigger than it was when I was growing up.

Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.

What the art world has done, it has been constantly been pushing the boundaries about what art can be. It's like expanding its territory.

There's a lot of thought in art. People get to talk about important things. There's a lot of sex, you know, in art. There's a lot of naked women and men, and there's intrigue, there's fakery. It's a real microcosm of the larger world.

The huge problem in our society is the enormous ignorance of the ideas that underlie modern art.

There is a certain majesty in simplicity which is far above all the quaintness of wit.

All art really does is keep you focused on questions of humanity, and it really is about how do we get on with our maker.

I kind of wonder if creativity is all morphing into one big thing that's not even art, but something universal and bigger.
