The underlying sense of form in my work has been the system of the universe, or part thereof. For that is a rather large model to work from.
A work will only have deep resonance if the kind of darkness I can generate is something that is resident in me already.
One cannot set out to make a work that's spiritual. What is a contemporary iconography for the spiritual? Is it some fuzzy space?
I can't just decide myself what's being built. Someone decides what they want, then I work for them.
I think there is an element of nihilism about, but I don't think most artists feel their work is meaningless.
There is a connection between me and the collectors, and as admirers of the work they tell me about the differences the pieces are able to make in their lives on a daily basis.
I was tired of illustration. You'd work so hard on a commission and it would go in to a magazine, and you'd turn the page and it was gone.
I think different people have different problems and different relations to the exhibition of their work.
Woody: Look Jessie, I know you hate me for leaving, but I have to go back. I'm still Andy's toy. Well, if you knew him, you'd understand. See, Andy's... Jessie: Let me guess. Andy's a real special kid, and to him, you're his buddy, his best friend, a...
If it gets to the Supreme Court, I'll have the directors of every museum in the country as expert testimony that my work is legitimate art.
I'm making the art for me first. I'm making it because these are the pictures I want to see. I'm making pictures that don't yet exist.
I met and became close with John Szarkowski of the Museum of Modern Art. He was incredibly supportive about me working in color.
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 found one had to do some work every day, even at midnight, because either you're professional or you're not.
Well, I've always just - I've never really gone out looking for work. I always waited for it to sort of hit me on the head.
The fact is I'm an opportunist. I'll take materials around me, materials on my table, and work with them as I'm searching for an idea that works.
During the work, you have to be sure that you haven't left any holes, that you've captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late.
Andy: [whispers softly] Let's go this way. Brandon Walsh: What are you? Crazy? They're here. Andy: [hysterically] They're here, they're here, they're here, they're here. [Brand covers Andy's mouth] Jake Fratelli: [whispering] There they are. Right th...
In any art, you don't know in advance what you want to say - it's revealed to you as you say it. That's the difference between art and illustration.
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.
I feed on art more than I ever do on photographs. I can admire photography, but I wouldn't go to it out of hunger.
