My eyes were made to erase all that is ugly.

When I feel a little confused, the only thing to do is to turn back to the study of nature before launching once again into the subjects closest to heart.

I don't follow any system. All the laws you can lay down are only so many props to be cast aside when the hour of creation arrives.

France has lived a long time - eight or nine centuries - and yet art in France, too, was derivative up until the 19th Century.

American art, like America, must wait and live a while longer.

We literally see things so differently, all the architecture and stuff. That's the cool part about skateboarding. We're out there skating stuff that's not meant to be skated.

I rarely draw what I see. I draw what I feel in my body.

I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them.

I see myself and many artists like me as the torchbearers through these dark ages.

My love of fine art increased - the more of it I saw, the more of it I wanted to see.

Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
