I have a painting where somebody's holding a chicken, and underneath the chicken is somebody's head.

I cross out words so you will see them more; the fact that they are obscured makes you want to read them.

Occasionally, when I get mad at a woman, I'll do some great, awful painting about her.

My favorite Twombly is 'Apollo and the Artist,' with the big 'Apollo' written across it.

I start a picture and I finish it. I don't think about art while I work. I try to think about life.

I don't listen to what art critics say. I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.

I wanted to be a cartoonist when I was young.
