“I've never been interested in philosophy, but some of Jung's ideas see...” — Sigmar Polke Quote

“I've never been interested in philosophy, but some of Jung's ideas seem useful in helping people understand pictures and so forth.”

“I began drawing as a very young child and had a grandfather who experimented with photography, so those things constituted my first exposure to art.”

“By making pictures, you learn the many different properties of photography. I use those properties differently than, say, an advertising agency would, but we're both operating in the same reality. A face painted by Picasso occupies the same reality as a portrait by Stieglitz.”

“A lot of people hurl themselves into relationships to lose themselves, but I think the best relationships help us to be more ourselves, to bring forth our best selves.”

“I feel pretty comfortable in a lot of different musical styles. I like rhythm, and I like melody and so forth.”

“I've always gone back and forth between acting and music, but for music I'm not trying to be a pop star - I just like to do it.”
