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.

When I die there is nobody to take my place.

Pure art exists only on the level of instant response to pure life

My contribution to the world is my ability to draw. I will draw as much as I can for as many people as I can for as long as I can.

Whatever you do, the only secret is to believe in it and satisfy yourself. Don't do it for anyone else.

The dripping... well, if it happens, it happens; it does not take anything from the work. The dripping just proves that you were not trying to control the work, but the work was developing by itself and if it drips, its a natural part in the evolution of the work.

When it is working, you completely go into another place, you're tapping into things that are totally universal, completely beyond your ego and your own self. That's what it's all about.
