“I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive.”

Just as I work with paints, brushes, and canvas, I work with the light, pieces of glass and chemistry.

Is photography an art? There is no point in trying to find out if it is an art. Art is old-fashioned. We need something else.

Lipstick is the red badge of courage.

There is no progress in art, any more than there is progress in making love.

All critics should be assassinated.

A certain amount of contempt for the material employed to express an idea is indispensable to the purest realization of this idea.

My works were designed to amuse, annoy, bewilder, mystify and inspire reflection.

If the affairs of the world were put in the hands of the screwball artists, it couldn’t be in a worse state than it is now !

Speaking of nudes, I have always had a great fondness for this subject, both in my paintings and in my photos, and I must admit, not for purely artistic reasons.

I never knew what I was doing until I was done.

I believe in the relation between photography and music; And thats my inspiration.

If the affairs of the world were put in the hands of the screwball artists, it couldn’t be in a worse state than it is now !

Thanks to my effort in the last 40 years, there has been more paper and film wasted.

This party is a bit like an old stagecoach. If you drive along at a rapid rate everyone aboard is either so exhilarated or so seasick that you don’t have a lot of difficulty.

The drive for power is not uncommonly motivated by this dynamic. One’s own fear and sense of limitation is avoided by enlarging oneself and one’s sphere of control.

In most states you can get a driver’s license when you’re sixteen years old, which made a lot of sense to me when I was sixteen years old but now seems insane.

When I’m playing the 1-guard, teams do a great job of just loading up and preparing for my drives and preparing for my three-point shots.

I admit, I have a tremendous sex drive. My boyfriend lives forty miles away.

Man, anytime the ball goes through the basket. It doesn’t matter if it’s a jumper or a drive.
