Jasper Johns said this quote

My experience with life is that it's very fragmented. In one place certain kinds of thing occur, and in another place a different kind of thing occurs. I would like my work to have some vivid indication of those differences. I guess, in painting, it would amount to different kinds of space being represented in it.

~ Jasper Johns

I assumed that everything would lead to complete failure, but I decided that didn't matter – that would be my life.

~ Jasper Johns

I have no ideas about what the paintings imply about the world. I don't think that's a painter's business. He just paints paintings without a conscious reason.

~ Jasper Johns

I wish there were more humor in my work than I see in it.
