Truth exists in art.

The arts are at the center of a nation’s purpose and a test of civilization.

There is no art without intention.

The essence of all Art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure.

He knows all about art, but he doesn’t know what he likes.

To this day I’m really not sure if I was playing Ziggy [Stardust] or if Ziggy was exaggerated aspects of my own personality. A fair amount of psychological baggage was undoubtedly coming out through the character. Because I felt awkward and nervous and inadequate with myself, it felt easier to be somebody else.

I’m terribly intuitive-I always thought I was intellectual about what I do, but I’ve come to the realization that I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing half the time.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

Truth exists in art.

Art is not a thing; it is a way.

Everybody has that feeling when they look at a work of art and it’s right, that sudden familiarity, a sort of…recognition, as though they were creating it themselves, as though it were being created through them while they look at it or listen to it.

There’s no collection that has a better representation of post-war American art than David Geffen’s.

Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.

All art inspires me. Life inspires me. The art of life, thus my own art.

The role of a museum of modern art is to make a good selection and identify what we believe to be the coming movements, and that requires taste.

Playing with freedom can only come after a certain amount of foundational study.
