When I make art, I think about its ability to connect with others, to bring them into the process.

You begin with the possibilities of the material.

To an engineer, good enough means perfect. With an artist, there's no such thing as perfect.

Culture is the arts elevated to a set of beliefs.

I think of my peace paintings as one long poem, with each painting being a single stanza.

It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.

Art ought never to be considered except in its relations with its ideal beauty.

Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.

I paint with shapes.

I was the least Pop of all the Pop artists.
