“Good taste is the enemy of creativity.”

Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.

I have never made radically different experiments. Whenever I wanted to say something, I said it the way I believed I should.

I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

While I am working I am not conscious of what I am putting on the canvas.

Lord, protect me from what I want!

Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.

God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style, He just goes on trying other things.

Beauty? To me it is a word without sense because I do not know where its meaning comes from nor where it leads to.

People who try to explain pictures are usually barking up the wrong tree.

Don’t waste your youth growing up.

There’s nothing more difficult than a line.

Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.

Go and do the things you can’t. That is how you get to do them.

Every now and then one paints a picture that seems to have opened a door and serves as a stepping stone to other things.

All art is erotic.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.

You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.

The deeper the truth in a creative work, the longer it will live.

Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.

An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.

I’m not particularly intellectual or clever or minority-focused in my creative instincts.

Out of the bliss comes magic, wonderment and creativity.

Life is a lot more fun if you treat its challenges in creative ways.
