I'm absolutely convinced that people cannot look and read at the same time. Not any more than you can kneel and jump at the same time. It's a completely different physiological setting.

The dominant problem of pictorial art since the nineteen-fifties is photography, and, by extension, film and video. The basilisk eye of the camera has withered the pride of handworked mediums. Painting survives on a case-by-case basis, its successes amounting to special exemptions from a verdict of history.

It's my duty to sell the ideas. But there's always a question when it comes to beauty.

Comic books, graphic novels, involve constant toggling and it's hard work. You get tired reading comic books, but you never get tired looking at pictures or reading words.

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

Art is always subject to change in a moment by somebody who's strong enough to shed new light on it.

Black and white can show how something is. Color adds how it is, imbued with temperatures and humidities of experience.
