There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.

Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet but soon will and will change everything for everybody and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible never the impossible.

I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky.

Art is always and everywhere the secret confession and at the same time the immortal movement of its time.

In an artwork you're always looking for artistic decisions so an ashtray is perfect. An ashtray has got life and death.

The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep.

Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion on the other hand produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.

A great artist is always before his time or behind it.

Even a true artist does not always produce art.

A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company comforts and inspires.
