Art teachers are always the doormats of the previous generation.

With art criticism it's difficult to discuss beauty, to assess it, because there's always the possibility that we're insane.

There's a double standard between writers and readers. Readers can be unfaithful to writers anytime they like, but writers must never ever be unfaithful to the readers.

To me, the greatest artists are almost entirely non-verbal.

A lot of writers and artists are like chefs who eat their own cooking in the kitchen and then deliver an empty plate with assurances that it's great.

Love and fear, the two strongest emotions we have. It all starts with emotion.

Beauty is a physiological reaction. Beauty is not an object.
