The right angle is one of the world's basic shapes.

I am for an art that tells you the time of day, or where such and such a street is. I am for an art that helps old ladies across the street.

I'm always careful to say that I changed everything I found.

Ox-Bow was a very free place, very open. You could do whatever you wanted to do.

I'm in favor of an art that does something other than just sit on its ass in a museum.

I got a job as a dishwasher in Oakland, and I would draw all day. It was nice because the lady who ran the boardinghouse where I worked let me live there for nothing if I gave her some drawings every week - mostly park drawings of birds and such.

I am for the art of underwear and the art of taxicabs. I am for the art of ice cream cones dropped on concrete.
