As a teenager I was crazy about David Bowie. He was a huge inspiration for me. I dressed a little bit crazily in school and dyed my hair every colour under the sun.
What passes relentlessly through the years is blood, and time; all the bitterness or warmth along the way is almost incidental. Even blood gets forgotten eventually, bleached into myth which are bleached of all colour into ashes of myth.
I'm not an abstractionist. . . I'm not interested in relationships of colour or form or anything else.
Red protects itself. No colour is as territorial. It stakes a claim, is on the alert against the spectrum.
The prejudice many photographers have against colour photography comes from not thinking of colour as form. You can say things with colour that can't be said in black and white. . . Those who say that colour will eventually replace black and white are talking nonsense. The two do not compete with each other. They are different means to different ends.
Know and watch your heart. It's pure but emotions come to colour it.
I don't know my natural hair colour. I haven't seen it for a while.
Walk out like someone suddenly born into colour. Do it now.
You put on a pair of Louboutins and the world changes colour.
I'm definitely not gonna make a joke about separating the whites and colours, so don't try to make me. So instead, I'll just say something like “BOOGABOOGABOOGADOBLUH I'M A PERSON BLUHBLUHBLGUHGHGGHGH”. That appeals to everybody.
Whether a woman's running for office or she's supporting her husband who's running for office and she gets criticised for wearing open-toed shoes or for the colour of her coat, there's just a lot of history that you bear if you are a woman who puts herself out in the political arena.

Colour is everything, black and white is more.
Colour is uncontainable. It effortlessly reveals the limits of language and evades our best attempts to impose a rational order on it To work with colour is to become acutely aware of the insufficiency of language and theory – which is both disturbing and pleasurable.
It is often said that the modern exhibition has ruined painting. It is an unfortunate fact that it does encourage competition, so that, to attract attention to his work, an artist is tempted to descend to sensationalism, whether it is expressed by strong colour, grotesque handling, unusual subject, or sheer size.
I've always been into dark colours.
The sky was the colour of sad weddings.
Complete independence through truth and non-violence means the independence of every unit, be it the humblest of the nation, without distinction of race, colour or creed.
The importance of colour is as nothing compared with that of form, chiaroscuro and arrangement. They are the true and enduring bases of pictorial art.
The theme, or harmony, of a painting can be created by any one of its visual elements. A single colour. . . repetition of shapes. . . Light can be a theme.
