If you can't protect yourself with talk, you won't be alive to protect yourself with guns.

Everything I do is the environment.

Art doesn't alter things. It points things out, but it doesn't alter them. It can't, no matter what a painter wants to do.

I think it would be better if nobody owned anything, but they didn't starve. Had enough paint and enough pianos and everything else.

They're very nationalistic the French - or they used to be. Very insular. Pretty arrogant.

If you make a gun, you are either going to sell it or you are going to use it. And if you're going to sell it, someone else is going to use it.

If I was whisked away... I think I could put up with anything, except not seeing the Australian landscape. It would be a torture to have it cut off.
