“The knack is art.”

“When I write, I disturb. When I show a film, I disturb. When I exhibit my painting, I disturb, and I disturb if I don't. I have a knack for disturbing.”

“Art is a marriage of the conscious and the unconscious.”

“Art is science made clear.”

“Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail.”

“An artist cannot speak about his art anymore than a plant can discuss horticulture.”

“Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.”
