The importance of art is in the process of doing it, in the learning experience where the artist interacts with whatever is being made.

Picasso's sculpture has incredible strength combined with a lack of pomposity.

We like to think of industrialization as being despicable. I don't really know what to make of it. There's something terribly brittle about it.

I'm excited about seeing things, and I'm interested in the way I think other people saw things.

I think that most people think painters are kind of ridiculous, you know?

I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.

I don't have big anxieties. I wish I did. I'd be much more interesting.

Actually, I love the Abstract Expressionists - or I like the ones I like, anyway.

There is a relationship between cartooning and people like Mir= and Picasso which may not be understood by the cartoonist, but it definitely is related even in the early Disney.

I thought art was a sort of romantic life, or I don't know what I thought art was like. But I learned practically everything I know from Ohio State. And I'm really glad I went.

Something terrible can happen in my life, but I wouldn't put it in my art.

I think we're much smarter than we were. Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it.
