All my art is in some way about other art, even if the other art is cartoons.

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.

A number of artists have done things with Mickey Mouse - including Claes Oldenburg and Andy Warhol. He's such an American symbol, and such an anti-art symbol.

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

Im not really sure what social message my art carries, if any. And I dont really want it to carry one. Im not interested in the subject matter to try to teach society anything, or to try to better our world in any way.

Outside is the world; it's there. Pop Art looks out into the world.

I take a cliche and try to organize its forms to make it monumental. The difference is often not great, but it is crucial.
