The only thing that's important is the legend created by the picture, and not whether it continues to exist itself.

Now there is fame! Of all - hunger, misery, the incomprehension by the public - fame is by far the worst. It is the castigation of God by the artist. It is sad. It is true.

If it's good, it's mine. If it's bad, it's a fake.

Good designers copy; great designers steal.

You cannot go against nature. She is stronger than the strongest of men. We can permit ourselves some liberties, but in details only.
