I'm Making Some Of The Greatest Art

It's Wonderful To Make A Lot Of Money, To Be Able To Take Care Of My Family, To Have The Facilities I Have And Really Support The People The Studio's Involved With. But At The End Of The Day I'm Quite Simple As An Artist-it's Really About The Power Of Art.

I Believe In Sensuality. I Believe In Sex. I Believe In The Survival Of The Species. I Like Aspects Of Things That Are Ethereal, But I Like The Reality Of Nature And Embracing The Way Nature Works, And Aspects Of Interrelationships Between Male-female, Aspects Of The Body, The Way The Body Has Changed Over Thousands Of Years . . .

The First Thing That Any Good Artist Has To Develop Is A Sense Of Independence From The Artworld. What Really Destroys A Young Artist Is Insecurity, The Fear That Everything Could Be Taken Away At Any Moment.

Art Is Something That Happens Inside Us. We Look At Things In The World, And We Become Excited By Them. We Understand Our Own Possibilities Of Becoming. And That's What Art Is.

Abstraction And Luxury Are The Guard Dogs Of The Upper Class.
