You shouldn't be a prisoner of your own ideas.
This world is very dark, but in Heaven there is no darkness.
I didn't start to be an artist myself until I was 24.
As I say, I as an abstract artist was active politically.
In the late 30s the name Pollock was totally unknown and unheard of.
But 'Playboy' was liberating. I was drawn to it and went for it full throttle.
You can't take yourself too seriously.
The idea is in my head to put it down is nothing.
All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites.
In the arts, as in life, everything is possible provided it is based on love.
Love and fantasy, go hand in hand.

Pollock also... wanted one to be wrapped in the painting.
All art is abstract, because art is an abstraction of the truth.
Oil-painting is a developed technique. Why go backwards?
Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.
No amount of skillful invention can replace the essential element of imagination.
The web of life, love, suffering and death unites all beings.
One of the great things about the universe is that it's fair.
Painting is a source of endless pleasure, but also of great anguish.
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
