I think art is the only thing that’s spiritual in the world. And I refuse to forced to believe in other people’s interpretations of God. I don’t think anybody should be. No one person can own the copyright to what God means.
I’m every icon. I’m every human being. I’m inside every heart.
We have no responsibility to live up to what other people think we ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It’s their mistake, not my failing.
I have mood poisoning. Must be something I hate.
I wasn’t born with enough middle fingers.
When you’re taught to love everyone, to love your enemies, then what value does that place on love?
I’m not as concerned with how people remember me as I am with how I’m getting them to remember themselves.
Art should be something that liberates your soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further.
You can’t placate people’s feelings–you can’t do that. You have to do something about their reality.
I don’t paint things, I only paint the difference between things.
I’m disposable thing, but I’m not functioning any more as a person, I must be like them.
I love the honesty of the open wounds and the beauty of scars.
Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I’d probably choose success.
If you want to find out who your real friends are, sink the ship. The first ones to jump aren’t your friends.
I think everybody has a bit of gay in them. And if they say they don’t, they’re lying.
I have nothing to hide but the truth.
I like the idea of duality, of two things being in conflict but both being right.
The burden of originality is one that most people don’t want to accept. They’d rather sit in front of the TV and let that tell them what they’re supposed to like, what they’re supposed to buy, and what they’re supposed to laugh at.
If you want to be a different fish, you’ve got to jump out of the school.
I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of ‘work’ because I think that just being alive is so much work all the time. Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery.
The theory seems to be that as long as a man is a failure, he is one of God’s children, but that as soon as he succeeds, He is taken over by the Devil.
I think death is the most wonderful invention of life. It purges the system of these old models that are obsolete.
I chose drugs because I knew what I wanted them to do. They made me feel like I knew everything, that I could do anything.
I don’t want to be just one thing. I want to be mess of everything.
I’m a controversial figure because I say things that people don’t want to hear.
I’m drawn to things that are raw, honest, and edgy.
Sometimes you have to be your own hero, because sometimes the people you can’t live without, can live without you.
I wake up in the morning and I’m empty. I have nothing. That’s why I fill my life with art.
I don’t want to be part of your world. I’m better off alone.
Art is the ultimate rebellion, it challenges the status quo and makes people question their own beliefs.
I want to create art that makes people uncomfortable, that pushes boundaries and forces them to confront their own fears and desires.
It’s easy to be a sheep and follow the herd, but true strength lies in being yourself and embracing your own uniqueness.
Pain is temporary, but art lasts forever.
Life is meaningless without art, it is what gives us purpose and allows us to truly express ourselves.
I am a reflection of society’s darkest desires and fears, I am the embodiment of the shadows that lurk within us all.
The greatest art is born from the greatest pain, for it is in our darkest moments that we find the strength to create something truly beautiful.
The greatest form of rebellion is not conforming to society’s expectations, but rather, embracing who you truly are and living your life authentically.
Don’t be afraid to question everything, for it is in questioning that we find answers and discover our own truths.
In a world full of conformity, be a symbol of individuality.
Art is the ultimate act of defiance, it is a rebellion against the mundane and a celebration of the unique.
Embrace your flaws, for they are what make you beautiful. In a world obsessed with perfection, be the imperfect masterpiece.
The only limitations we have are the ones we place on ourselves. Break free from the chains of mediocrity and soar to new heights of creativity.
Art is the mirror that reflects our souls, it allows us to see ourselves and others in a way that is both revealing and transformative.
True art transcends time and space, it lives on to inspire future generations long after the artist is gone.
The power of art lies in its ability to provoke thought, stir emotions, and challenge the status quo. It is a force that cannot be contained or controlled, for it is the voice of the silenced and the vision of the unseen.
