The Best Reason To Paint Is That

I Don't Think Art Is Propaganda; It Should Be Something That Liberates The Soul, Provokes The Imagination And Encourages People To Go Further. It Celebrates Humanity Instead Of Manipulating It.

When It Is Working, You Completely Go Into Another Place, You're Tapping Into Things That Are Totally Universal, Completely Beyond Your Ego And Your Own Self. That's What It's All About.

I Think As Much As Possible, An Artist, If He Has Any Kind Of Social Or Political Concern, Has To…expose As Much As Possible What He Sees So That Some People Think About Things That They Don’t Normally Think About… [art] Should Be Something That Liberates The Soul, Provokes The Imagination And Encourages People To Go Further.

If Commercialization Is Putting My Art On A Shirt So That A Kid Who Can't Afford A $30,000 Painting Can Buy One, Then I'm All For It.

Good And Evil Are Very Hard To Explain Or Understand. I'm Sure That Evil Exists, But It Is Hard To Isolate. Good And Evil Are Intertwined And Impossible To Separate. They Are Not Completely Opposites And In Fact Are Often One And The Same.
