There is nothing that makes me happier than making a child smile.

Shapes that contain no inner components of positive/negative relationships will function better with other shapes of the same nature.

I am intrigued with the shapes people choose as their symbols to create a language. There is within all forms a basic structure, an indication of the entire object with a minimum of lines that becomes a symbol. This is common to all languages, all people, all times.

I think as much as possible, an artist, if he has any kind of social or political concern, has to…expose as much as possible what he sees so that some people think about things that they don’t normally think about… [Art] should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further.

If commercialization is putting my art on a shirt so that a kid who can't afford a $30,000 painting can buy one, then I'm all for it.

I have been enlightened. I have fallen into poetry and it has swallowed me up.

See, when I paint, it is an experience that, at its best, is transcending reality.
