When I Come Up Against The Real

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.

Some Of The 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. I Think Part Of The Reason My Work Is Attractive To People Like That Is Because It Doesn't Cater To Them.

I Felt So Painfully Isolated That I Vowed I Would Get Revenge On The World By Becoming A Famous Cartoonist.

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.

When I Listen To Old Music, That's One Of The Few Times That I Actually Have A Kind Of Love For Humanity.
