Quote

I'm voraciously looking to express myself in my work. I love my work.

I am not brave enough to not pay my income tax and risk going to jail. But I can say rather freely what I want to say with my art.

Writing is my primary way of expressing myself.

That I have the right to express myself freely at all times in all circumstances entails the idea that free speech is a 'basic human right' possessed by each individual, and, as such, trumps the interests of the society or group, including my neighbour.

You are often asked to explain your work, as if the reader isn't able to work it out. And people always try and label you by your work.

I went for an outrageous form of expressing myself. It seemed to be a way that I could make my name and show that I was somebody.

When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

I simply claim that what ideas I have, I have a right to express; and that any man who denies that right to me is an intellectual thief and robber.

My job is usually to express emotion as freely as possible.

My best work is often almost unconscious and occurs ahead of my ability to understand it.
