It's almost as if creativity is dead. The visual power of advertising was everywhere - now it's basically gone.

If advertising is not an official or state art, it is nonetheless clearly art.

Exposure to the arts and culture is enormously valuable.

I think art comes out of meaningful experiences, and it's hard to make art when your meaningful experience is getting into your electric car and driving from your fancy house in the Hills to your fancy job in the Valley.

I always loved advertising. If I hadn't been in fashion, I'd have been in advertising.

Of course, museums and galleries and art spaces will continue to ground the art world. But certainly the public - as well as artists - also benefit when art is encountered in other everyday situations.

Advertising's always been a considerable pressure on publishers.

I started billboard painting in Minneapolis, and I went to General Outdoor Advertising, and I said, 'I could do that.' They said, 'Oh yeah... we can always use a good man around here.'
