1 - The more I paint the more I like everything.
2 - I like kids' work more than work by real artists any day.
3 - I don't think about art when I'm working. I try to think about life.
4 - I am not a black artist, I am an artist.
5 - I wanted to be a star, not a gallery mascot.
6 - I want to make paintings that look as if they were made by a child.
7 - I don't listen to what art critics say. I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.
8 - Since I was seventeen I thought I might be a star. I'd think about all my heroes, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix... I had a romantic feeling about how these people became famous.
9 - Believe it or not, I can actually draw.
10 - I'm not a real person. I'm a legend.
