The things I want to express are so beautiful and pure.

To tell you the truth, I am rather perplexed by the concept of 'art'. What one person considers to be 'art' is often not 'art' to another. 'Beautiful' and 'ugly' are old-fashioned concepts that are seldom applied these days; perhaps justifiably, who knows? Something repulsive, which gives you a moral hangover, and hurts your ears or eyes, may well be art. Only 'kitsch' is not art - we're all agreed about that. Indeed, but what is 'kitsch'? If only I knew!

I believe that producing pictures, as I do, is almost solely a question of wanting so very much to do it well.

I never got a pass mark in math ... Just imagine - mathematicians now use my prints to illustrate their books.

I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough.

Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible. I think it's in my basement... let me go upstairs and check.

I try in my prints to testify that we live in a beautiful and orderly world, and not in a formless chaos, as it sometimes seems.
