“Bad artists always admire each others work.”

“When people cared about each other, they always found a way to make it work.”

“Every true artist is the salvation of every other. Only artists produce for each other a world that is fit to live in.”

“People always ask me where they should go to work, and I always tell them to go to work for whom they admire the most.”

“It is naive to believe that the admiration for a masterpiece is spontaneous. The admiration, to a great extent, is not born within people but between people, as if we forced each other to admire (while no one is “personally” enraptured).”

“God and other artists are always a little obscure…..”

“Because I'm a person who always has to do something. If I cannot do anything, I'm in a very bad way. But really I'm always working on something. And I always want to work, too. Well, the few artists I know really well, they are all so... It's a really bad block when you think, right, now I've got to do art. It really is very important to learn that that is not the most important thing.”

“We're meant for each other 'cause we smell bad.”

“Let’s always love each other, and never be in love with each other.”

“Bad artists copy. Good artists steal.”
