For a while, I thought a lot about lineage. Where do I belong? Who am I standing next to?

There is a broad range of reaction to the work, as there is a broad range of work I make.

Guy Peellaert was to Europe what Andy Warhol was to America - except Guy had more talent!

Photos should suggest a word(s) and vice versa. They should be equal and interchangeable.

Color is like music. The palette is an instrument that can be orchestrated to build form.

Making art is a lot about just seeing what happens if you put some energy into something.

If right now, culture's so divisive, it just leaves these millions of people like me out.

I am the bridge between the East and the West. I don't want to abandon one for the other.

Artists should never think of themselves as an idol. Fame is a side effect of one's work.

I think if people raise their consciousness and find a purpose, everybody will be helped.

If I'm not nervous, I'm nervous. You never know how people are going to receive the work.

I have always been interested in how you can depict suffering without being heavy-handed.

I realized it wasn't necessary to work in the traditional methods of carving and casting.

In my early work I didn't use much colour. I had no confidence about how I could do this.

Earth is the material with the most potential because it is the original source material.

Partings are the beginnings of new meetings. Beginnings happen because there are endings.

The sun will shine again. No matter... how painful and hard the rain may beat down on me.

No matter how much you hate or how much you suffer, you can't bring the dead back to life

I do not think making art alone makes it any better than making it with a team of people.

Everything is about to disappear. You've got to hurry up if you still want to see things.

I'm always worried about the sitters - are they cold, are they hot, are they comfortable?

Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will.

Avowed work, even when uncongenial, is far less trying to patience than feigned pleasure.

Usually, when I walk on a wire, I inspect the anchor point on both sides before crossing.

Painting has to get back to its original goal, examining the inner lives of human beings.

Photography freed painting from a lot of tiresome chores, starting with family portraits.

You have to make thousands and thousands of drawings before an illustration is perfected.

Your rules should arise out of your passions and your experience with what works for you.

I don't have a dream project. I don't really think in those terms, to tell you the truth.

Starving artist' is acceptable at age 20, suspect at age 40, and problematical at age 60.

It is the common defect of modern art study. Too many students do not know why they draw.

My current works are abstracts cunningly disguised as landscapes. It is the Canadian way.

A painting is finished when to have done less would be considered a sin and more a crime.

Noooo, there’s no way I, a mere handsome and sexy shopkeeper, could possibly have bankai!

I swear. Everyone here gets so worked up over the most minute details. ~Mayuri Kurotsuchi

He who does not fear the sword he holds is not worthy of holding a sword. -Hisagi Shuuhei

When young people grow up....they shine so much that old people want to avert their gaze.

I love stories. I loved stories when I was a kid. My mom read stories to me all the time.

They look at someone like me, and I just really get up their nose. I really wind them up.

I think the automation of vision is a much bigger deal than the invention of perspective.

Always acknowledge your position in the food chain... They eat because you grow the food.

I do all I can to make my world a better place to live in for me and for my kids as well.
