My grandfather was a provider. Work, any kind of work, was the joy of his life. So I grew up having a certain relationship to work. It was something that I always wanted.

I'm always on a red carpet . . . the other day I thought, this ain't bad. You can meet people on it.

The thing is doing it, that's what it's all about. Not in the results of it. After all what is a risk? It's a risk not to take risks. Otherwise, you can go stale and repeat yourself. I don't feel like a person who takes risks. Yet there's something within me that must provoke controversy because I find it wherever I go. Anybody who cares about what he does takes risks.

On any given Sunday you're gonna win or you're gonna lose. The point is -- can you win or lose like a man?

Vanity: my favorite sin.

I'm so shy now I wear sunglasses everywhere I go.

I destroy the painting as soon as I can see what it is. When I can make out something in it, I destroy it because it's no longer coming from my unconscious.
