I think there is an element of nihilism about, but I don't think most artists feel their work is meaningless.

Works of art produced in the contemporary world are a further expression of that. But I don't think there is an active, ongoing nihilist self-consciousness in the artist.

I believe that we are all, openly or secretly, struggling against one or another kind of nihilism.

That my philosophy of life is, as far as possible, one of enjoyment. I'm not nihilistic.

Famously, there's not really anywhere to go after nihilism. It's not progressing toward anything, it's a statement of outrage, however brilliant.

I personally don't live a nihilistic life, I don't have any use for it.

Yes, I'm reckless and sometime express no concern for my own well being, and I express a misanthropic view of the world, but to have an opinion, you can't be a nihilist.

I don't think I can write a book as nihilistic as some of my early ones. They're so bleak. I don't think I would enjoy that as much anymore. You really become fixated on ways out.

I'm an artist and that means I can be as egotistical as I want to be.

To be in opposition is not to be a nihilist.
