Your Vigor For Life Appalls Me.

I Use Photos A Lot For Drawing People And Personalities, But They're Almost Never Photos That I've Taken.

I Still Can't Spend A Lot Of Money On Records At Collector Prices. There's Something In Me That Just Won't Allow Me To Do That. But I Will Trade My Artwork, Which I Know Is Worth Thousands Of Dollars.

The French Hold Onto Their Traditions. I Was Always So Alienated In America. My Work Was This Constant Reaction To That.

The Fine-art World Knows Very Little About The Cartoon World.

Some Things I Won't Do For Any Amount Of Money. That's So Demoralizing And Goes Against Every Principle That I Hold. It's Like, Okay, Some Rich People Can Buy Me Because I'm A Talented Guy. They Can Buy Talent. You Can't Buy It For Yourself, But You Can Buy Other People's Talent To Serve Your Purposes. And Once An Artist Does That, He Becomes Like A Plaything Of The Rich. You Know, Some Of These Wealthy Collectors Have Paid Lots Of Money For Artwork That I Already Did, But I Didn't Do It With The Intention Of Catering To Them.
