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

My work isn't about form. It's about seeing. I'm excited about seeing things, and I'm interested in the way I think other people see things.

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

There must be something about art... almost all cultures have done art. It's a refining of the senses, which are there to keep us alive. As far as we know, no other animals do that.

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

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

Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it.
