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

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

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'm never drawing the object itself; I'm only drawing a depiction of the object - a kind of crystallized symbol of it.

Use the worst colour you can find in each place - it usually is the best.

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