“All critics should be assassinated.”

Lipstick is the red badge of courage.

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

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.

Reality is fabricated out of desire.

In the same spirit, when the automobile arrived, there were those that declared the horse to be the most perfect form of locomotion.

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.

When I saw I was under attack from all sides, I knew I was on the right track.

Assassination has never changed the history of the world.

The attempted assassinations against me were not accidental.

Days will prove that the assassination policy will not finish the Hamas.

If surviving assassination attempts were an Olympic event, I would win the gold medal.

Assassination’s the fastest way.

What has violence ever accomplished? What has it ever created? No martyr’s cause has ever been stilled by an assassin’s bullet.

As far as anybody in the rap game ever tryin to assassinate my character, thats impossible. You talkin about a man who has always walked the walk and talked the talk.
