Art is a statement of one in the face of all; not a statement by one for the use of all.

When you draw something it lives and when you photograph it it dies

I don't think the English like me. I sold a colossal best seller in America, and they never really forgave me.

Art's cruel. You can get away with murder with words. But a picture is like a window straight through to your inmost heart.

I think it is interesting that we have come back to star- and space ships. Jet will do for a transport shorthand; yet when man really reaches, across the vast seas of space, he still reaches in ships.

That's the trouble with provincial life. Everyone knows everyone and there is no mystery. No romance.

It came to me…that I didn’t want to be anywhere else in the world at that moment, that what I was feeling at that moment justified all I had been through, because all I had been through was my being there. I was experiencing…a new self-acceptance, a sense that I had to be this mind and this body, its vices and its virtues, and that I had no other chance or choice.
