An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.

I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own.

Art is what you can get away with.

We live in an age when the traditional great subjects - the human form, the landscape, even newer traditions such as abstract expressionism - are daily devalued by commercial art.

I always hear myself saying, 'She's a beauty!' or 'He's a beauty!' or 'What a beauty!' but I never know what I'm talking about.
