I just say I'm an artist who works with pictures and words.
I love making up visual works of art in language. I get to be an artist without actually being an artist in that sense.
I'm a text artist. It's an unsung art form because it's so ahead of its time.
I found that the only thing I felt passionate about drawing were words.
Do you know that drawing with words is also an art... ?
The great poet is a great artist. He is painter and sculptor. The greatest pictures and statues have been painted and chiseled with words. They outlast all others.
I like to paint pictures with words, 'cause I can't draw for anything.
I want to promote poetry to the point where you got all the baldhead kids running around doing poetry, getting the music out of the way and having only words, the spoken word, and then see what happens.
If you look closely, there is no book more visual than Three Trapped Tigers, in that it is filled with blank pages, dark pages, it has stars made of words, the famous magical cube made of numbers, and there is even a page which is a mirror.
I was always interested in language. I thought, why not? If a painting, by the normal definition of the term, is paint on canvas, why can't it be painted words on canvas?
I sometimes feel I would like to do crazy things with 'Endgame,' where someone says something, but the words, instead of being spoken, are written words projected out of their mouth.
