Anish Kapoor

"Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies."

"You know that day after day of, Oh God what am I going to do with myself feeling? The fear of the emptiness that it implies keeps me going."

"One can hardly be Indian and not know that almost every accent, which hand you eat your food with, has some deeper symbolic truth, reality."

"That freedom that Picasso afforded himself, to be an artist in a huge number of ways, seems to be a huge psychological liberation."

"Being an artist is a very long game. It is not a 10-year game. I hope I'll be around making art when I'm 80."
