I feel shame, not for the wrong things I have done, but for the right things that I have failed to do.

Art is like a shipwreck; it's every man for himself.

I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.

I've decided that art is a habit-forming drug. That's all it is, for the artist, for the collector, for anybody connected with it.

What I have in mind is that art may be bad, good or indifferent, but, whatever adjective is used, we must call it art, and bad art is still art in the same way that a bad emotion is still an emotion.

I feel shame, not for the wrong things I have done, but for the right things that I have failed to do.

My art would be that of living: each moment, each breath is a work inscribed nowhere.
