Pop Art is industrial painting. I think the meaning of my work is that it is industrial, it's what all the world will soon become. Europe will be the same way, soon, it won't be American; it will be universal.

I suppose I would still prefer to sit under a tree with a picnic basket rather than under a gas pump, but signs and comic strips are interesting as subject matter.

I think that most people think painters are kind of ridiculous, you know?

I dont have big anxieties. I wish I did. Id be much more interesting.

My direction is very anti-contemplative. If you thought I was for commercial products, you'd think there was no irony. The irony isn't meant to be an ironic comment on our society, exactly.

I'd always wanted to know the difference between a mark that was art and one that wasn't.

Painting stems from a sense of organisation, the sensed positions of contrasts. Not that it is about this.
