“While asleep, I had an unusual experience. There was a red screen formed by flowing blood, as it were. I was observing it. Suddenly a hand began to write on the screen. I became all attention.

“The older we get the more we realize that service to others is the only way to stay happy. If we do nothing to benefit others we will do nothing to benefit ourselves.”
“I want to know what the difference between the essence of a man and woman is.”
“People want to know those details. They think it gives them greater insight into a piece of art, but when they approach a painting in such a manner, they are belittling both the artistâ€™s work and their own ability to experience it. Each painting I do says everything I want to say on its subject and in terms of that painting, and not all the trivia in the world concerning my private life will give the viewer more insight into it than what hangs there before their eyes. Frankly, as far as Iâ€™m concerned, even titling a work is an unnecessary concession.”
“Take a look at my girlfriend, she's the only one I got. Not much of a girl friend, never seem to get a lot.”

“There are no natural barriers. It's all music. It's either hip or it ain't.”
“I am not trendy. I am not 'in fashion'. I am simply a positive human being who has a positive outlook on life.”
