Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.

I had trouble distinguishing art from life. I don't now, and I feel much better!

The more I see and know about life, the more ideas I have and the more I want to make art.

Art is something that opens up and enhances your emotions and that's what I like to think I'm doing.

Writing is my job. I don't think of it as art.

Art is lunging forward without certainty about where you are going or how to get there, being open to and dependent on what luck, the paint, the typo, the dissonance, give you. Without art you're stuck with yourself as you are and life as you think life is.

I think there is a hunger for things that wake you up, something that makes you peel back your eyes, that reminds you that you are alive. Art is at its best when it is in the 'now.'

Art is the ultimate luxury good, but one that can make you think, give a you a blast of beauty and enhance your life. Even if the work's made of plasticine.

Although even when I am being idle I have plenty of food for thought both early and late - thoughts both about and not about art.

Yes, the more I go through life I realize that there's really no separation between practice and art at all. The two things more and more become one rather than two different aspects of my life.
