- For
the first time I know what love is; what friends
are; and what art should be. Love is a seeking
for a way of life; the way that cannot be followed
alone; the resonance of all spiritual and physical
things. Friendship is another form of love.. more
passive perhaps, but full of the transmitting
and acceptances of things like thunderclouds and
grass and the clean granite of reality. Art is
both love and friendship and understanding: the
desire to give. It is not charity, which is the
giving of things. It is more than kindness, which
is the giving of self. It is both the taking and
giving of beauty, the turning out to the light
of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit.
It is a recreation on another plane of the realities
of the world; the tragic and wonderful realities
of earth and men, and of all the interrelations
of these.

- I
start a picture and I finish it. I don't think
about art while I work. I try to think about life.

- I've
always thought that there shouldn't be any limit
to the things that are well designed. And I think
that people who consider that art should only
be kept for art galleries and doesn't have a role
in public life, I think that's too narrow.

- I've
worked really hard. I've made three pieces of
seminal art in my life. If I died tomorrow, I'd
be remembered for making them. There are a lot
of artists who, no matter how hard they work in
their lives, will never make anything seminal.

- In
England if I did a show like this they would think:
"Oh God, it is so obvious." Putting
a skull in a painting is too obvious. Because
a skull means death. But here they understand
that a skull is a metaphor of transient life because
Mexico has such a long history loaded with imagery.
In North America I would also have problems with
this show because they are so afraid of death,
they hate this, they cannot look at a skull; they
feel like they are under attack. It's more to
do with a sense of humor failure than anything
else.

getting more from designing a new restaurant now

- All
art is contemporary, if it's alive, and if it's
not alive, what's the point of it?

- I'm
interested in the morality of what it means to
be an artist. As an artist I'm most concerned
with what art means to me, how it defines my life
