You want to be doing your best work whatever field of the arts you're in because your life's going to be over all too soon, and you have to make the most of it.

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

I don't want life to imitate art. I want life to be art.

My life is in the art that I make, and I'm very happy with it.

I just wanted to be an artist. I didn't care how or what; I just wanted to express my artistic integrity, and I wanted the world to have a vision of what I was seeing in my mind.

Seriously, I wanted to be an artist because I saw that it meant endless possibilities. I came from a badly managed family background, so art was a way of reinventing myself.

My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.

Part of what I do and what I want to do is I want to bring art into the everyday life. If you can take ordinary just walking in the street and you're confronted by something, that might change your day - it might inspire you.

I wanted to become an artist because it meant endless possibilities. Art was a way of reinventing myself.
