Thanks to my effort in the last 40 years, there has been more paper and film wasted.

To me, a painter, if not the most useful, is the least harmful member of our society.

All critics should be assassinated.

I paint what cannot be photographed, something from the imagination... I photograph the things I don't want to paint, things that are already in existence.

I like contradictions. We have never attained the infinite variety and contradictions that exist in nature. Tomorrow I shall contradict myself. That is the one way I have of asserting my liberty, the real liberty one does not find as a member of society.

The complicated engines manufactured by men demand, if one really wants to use them, much calm. Ever since our love for machines replaced the love we used to have for our fellow man, catastrophes proceed to increase.

There is no progress in art, any more than there is progress in making love.
