art machines want
Paintings are too hard. The things I want to show are mechanical. Machines have less problems. I'd like to be a machine, wouldn't you?
sex exercise people
After being alive, the next hardest work is having sex. Of course, for some people it isn't work because they need the exercise and they've got the energy for the sex and the sex gives them even more energy. Some people get energy from sex and some people lose energy from sex. I have found that it's too much work. But if you have the time for it, and if you need that exercise-then you should do it.
art want steps
Business art is the step that comes after Art. I started as a commercial artist, and I want to finish as a business artist.
art stars mean
Death means a lot of money, honey. Death can really make you look like a star.
dream art things-to-do
I loved working when I worked at commercial art and they told you what to do and how to do it and all you had to do was correct it and they'd say yes or no. The hard thing is when you have to dream up the tasteless things to do on your own.
running fascination belief
My fascination with letting images repeat and repeat or in film's case 'run on' manifests my belief that we spend much of our lives seeing without observing.
surfing way surfer
I'm seeking out a new way to live and if it's surfing, that's the way I'll do it. I'll be a surfer for the rest of my life.
bird jersey mosquitoes
The mosquito is the state bird of New Jersey.
waiting lasts taste
I really do live for the future, because when I'm eating a box of candy, I can't wait to taste the last piece.
art way pops
Pop art is a way of liking things.
art thinking warhol
Andy Warhol: I think everybody should like everybody. Gene Swenson: Is that what Pop Art is all about? Andy Warhol: Yes, it's liking things.
problem film ifs
If there's ever a problem, I film it and it's no longer a problem. It's a film.
thinking painting instinct
My instinct about painting says, 'if you don't think about it, it's right.' As soon as you have to decide and choose, it's wrong. And the more you decide about, the more wrong it gets.
animal leather-pants skins
I admit to having worn suede and leather pants myself for a while, but you just never feel clean, and it's degenerate, anyway, to wear animal skins.... So I went back to bluejeans after my degenerate period.
