Art addresses itself to the mind, and not to the eyes. The transformation of the experience: that is pure art. It's been like one enormous awakening of finding many wonderful rooms in a house that you never knew existed. To make love in the daytime...
I am deeply superficial person. I was interested in ideas, not in visual products. …a head, for instance, is "nothing but the vehicle of my aesthetic ideas." So, I more or less can't do anything. So, if I went out anywhere I'd just like…sit there… I think I will change, but when people look at me maybe they won't notice. I'll play it first and tell you what is it later. So, it's always the same time, just the way it came from the factory.
No single man can be taken as a model for a perfect figure. Everything is a mystery, ourselves, and all things both simple and humble. We don't like authority, we don't like power. We tell our little earthbound tales on little bits of paper. I have some pain I'm gonna have for the rest of my life. Still there is a calm, pure harmony, and music inside of me. For everybody who looks for its inner structure, among vertigo, there is a whole system of abstruseness forces. What my art probably lack is a kind of passionate humanity. I rejoice with the brilliant ones, and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns.
I have nothing to say and I am saying it. My religion is art. I'm calling long distance on a public saxophone... Mama… I want to be a painter. I love you, too… I can't seem to keep from making everything. The scales fell from my eyes and I saw a Medusa's head and I saw life as a thing of terror.
Everyman is an artist. I remember losing to a guy who did a perfect Spiderman.
To copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. Even the most disturbing art is always enjoyable. And if you didn't enter the path - the most important thing is to enter it.
