Pelé is one of the few who contradicted my theory: instead of fifteen minutes of fame, he will have fifteen centuries.

I loved working when I worked at commercial art and they told you what to do and how to do it and all you had to do was correct it and they'd say yes or no. The hard thing is when you have to dream up the tasteless things to do on your own.

Sometimes the little times you don't think are anything while they're happening turn out to be what marks a whole period of your life.

I really believe in empty spaces, although, as an artist, I make a lot of junk. Empty space is never-wasted space. Wasted space is any space that has art in it. An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have but that he, for some reason, thinks it would be a good idea to give them.

I used to have the same lunch every day, for 20 years, I guess, the same thing over and over again.

The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.

They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
