If the choice is between buying another building or a Pollock, I'd go for the Pollock every time.

Damien Hirst

The moment of creative impulse is what an artist gives you. You look at a Pollock, and it can't give you the tools to do a painting like that yourself, but in doing the work, Pollock shares with you the moment of creative impulse that drove him to do that work.

Patti Smith

If you see 'Pollock,' I weighed almost 270 pounds.

Jeffrey Tambor

Pollock looks unusual and radical even now.

Donald Judd

I think we're in an age where artists really have an incredible range of materials at their command now. They can use almost anything from household items - Jackson Pollock used house paint - to, you know, advanced computer systems, to good old oil paint and acrylic paint.

Bill Viola

For 24 hours a day, for 10 years, all I thought about was being in a band. That's all I did. I had no other social life. I don't want my life to be like that now. I've spent the past 10 years having a real life as well. But Spandau Ballet is such a difficult shadow to outrun.

Gary Kemp

Unfortunately, there was no Jackson Pollock of the camera.

Edward Ruscha

Pollock also... wanted one to be wrapped in the painting.

Robert Rauschenberg

In the late 30s the name Pollock was totally unknown and unheard of.

Clem had made it known that Pollock was a great painter.

The big shock of my life was Abstract Expressionism - Pollock, de Kooning, those guys. It changed my work. I was an academically trained student, and suddenly you could pour paint, smear it on, broom it on!

LeRoy Neiman

To handle paint the way Pollock did, you need the muscularity of a ballet dancer.

Pat Steir

Pollock really invented something. No one painted like him - or de Kooning or Still.

Roy Lichtenstein

It would have been the equivalent of Jackson Pollock's attempts to copy the Sistine Chapel.

Malcolm Cowley

When I was living an almost mechanical lifestyle as an idol, I was constantly wrapped up in thoughts about who I was. That's when I entered a phase in which I was trying to discover myself. Because I was able to get past that difficult phase, I now realize how important it is to protect myself and my identity.
