If you want to be a different fish, jump out of school.

I don't like getting out when I could be painting. And when I'm painting, I don't want anybody else around.

I'd rather play a tune on a horn, but I've always felt that I didn't want to train myself. Because when you get a train, you've got to have an engine and a caboose. I think it's better to train the caboose. You train yourself, you strain yourself.

I'd never just want to do what everybody else did. I'd be contributing to the sameness of everything.

We're all colored, or you wouldn't be able to see anyone.

You can tell by the kindness of a dog how a human should be.
