During the '60s, I think, people forgot what emotions were supposed to be. And I don't think they've ever remembered. I think that once you see emotions from a certain angle you can never think of them as real again. That's what more or less has happened to me. I don't really know if I was ever capable of love, but after the '60s I never thought in terms of 'love' again.

The reason I'm painting this way is that I want to be a machine, and I feel that whatever I do and do machine-like is what I want to do.

My style was always to spread out rather than to move up.

Most people in America think Art is a man's name.

...the more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel.

I'll bet there are a lot of artists that nobody hears about who just make more money than anybody.

Love and sex can go together and sex and unlove can go together and love and unsex can go together. But personal love and personal sex is bad.
