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

I would photograph an idea rather than an object, a dream rather than an idea.

An original is a creation motivated by desire.

Dada cannot live in New York. All New York is dada, and will not tolerate a rival.

I paint when I cannot photograph.

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

The streets are full of admirable craftsmen, but so few practical dreamers.
