Just as I work with paints, brushes, and canvas, I work with the light, pieces of glass and chemistry.

I have been accused of being a joker. But the most successful art to me involves humor.

I never knew what I was doing until I was done.

I do not photograph nature. I photograph my visions.

I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.

When I saw I was under attack from all sides, I knew I was on the right track.

Cut out the eye from a photograph of one who has been loved but is seen no more. Attach the eye to the pendulum of a metronome and regulate the weight to suit the tempo desired. Keep going to the limit of endurance. With a hammer well-aimed, try to destroy the whole at a single blow.
