Visual art and writing don't exist on an aesthetic hierarchy that positions one above the other, because each is capable of things the other can't do at all. Sometimes one picture is equal to 30 pages of discourse, just as there are things images are completely incapable of communicating.

Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time.

Dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call.

All art is contemporary art because it had to be made when it was now.

Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first.

The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.

Technology is a compulsive and addictive way to live. Verbal communication cannot be lost because of a lack of skill. The ability to listen and learn is key to mastering the art of communication. If you don't use your verbal skills and networking, it will disappear rapidly. Use technology wisely.

It's incredibly flattering. I like it when people spend time on me. People don't spend the same amount of time on my brother who's an insurance broker.

Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.

Women are our most miraculous muse, an enchanted intangibility that encourages all art.

Personality is everything in art and poetry.
