I don't watch television I think it destroys the art of talking about oneself.

I love art dealers. In some ways they're my favorite people in the art world. Really. I love that they put their money where their taste is create their own aesthetic universes support artists employ people and do all of this while letting us see art for free. Many are visionaries.

At the University of Maryland my first year I started off planning to major in art because I was interested in theatre design stage design or television design.

Art is moral passion married to entertainment. Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda and entertainment without moral passion is television.

Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.

All that we call ideal in Greek or any other art because to us it is false and visionary was to the makers of it true and existent.

Life doesn't imitate art it imitates bad television.

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.

Vision is the true creative rhythm.

Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression.
