It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them.

All critics should be assassinated.

I paint when I cannot photograph.

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

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.

All my life I have painted pictures so that certain people would drop dead when they looked at them, but I have not succeeded yet. The worst painting cant hurt you, but a bad driver can kill you, a bad judge can send you to the chair, a bad politician can ruin an entire country, That is why even a bad painting is sacred.

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.
