Art is a deception that creates real emotions - a lie that creates a truth. And when you give yourself over to that deception, it becomes magic.

You know, it's a hugely difficult thing to take any work of art or drawing and say 'make that real.'

Art is the most beautiful deception of all. And although people try to incorporate the everyday events of life in it, we must hope that it will remain a deception lest it become a utilitarian thing, sad as a factory.

I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.

Art should be serious, not a joke. I don't like to laugh about art.

You can turn something into art just because of the way you tell people to look at it.

There's an art to comedy.

The point of painting is not really deception or imitation.

Anything is an art if you do it at the level of an art.
