Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesnt look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.

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.

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

We like to think of industrialization as being despicable. I don't really know what to make of it. There’s something terribly brittle about it. 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. There are certain things that are usable, forceful, and vital about commercial art. We're using those things – but we're not really advocating stupidity, international teenagerism, and terrorism.
