  • For me, drawing is everything, because it informs everything. It even informs my poetry. It's the way I begin everything.

    Drawing   Dine In   Way  
  • More important than having a romance with the object that I'm drawing, is to have a romance with the mark that I am making.

  • My attitude towards drawing is not necessarily about drawing. It's about making the best kind of image I can make, it's about talking as clearly as I can.

    Constance W. Glenn, Jim Dine, Christopher Sweet (1985). “Jim Dine: drawings”, Harry N Abrams Incorporated
  • I have never been able to carry out any work coolly. On the contrary it is done, so to speak, with my own blood.

    Blood   Suffering   Done  
  • I do not think that obsession is funny or that not being able to stop one's intensity is funny.

    Thinking   Dine In   Able  
  • I work every day. I work all day. I've never had a holiday. It's all I really want to do. It's what I'm here for. . . . More and more, I'm just so grateful I was born an artist.

    Dine In   Done   Littles  
  • I'm not a pop artist. For me pop never was.... Pop is concerned with exteriors. I'm concerned with interiors. When I use objects, I see them as a vocabulary of feelings. I can spend a lot of time with objects, and they leave me as satisfied as a good meal. I don't think pop artists feel that way.

  • Autobiography is the most fascinating thing you can do because you get to touch the human condition. And in the end, what else is there? To me, it's the ultimate affirmation of life, and a miracle of this transient, extremely fragile organism. To celebrate that, I think, is a noble thing to do.

  • The figure is still the only thing I have faith in in terms of how much emotion it's charged with and how much subject matter is there.

    Jim Dine, Constance Glenn, California State University, Long Beach. Art Museum and Galleries (1979). “Jim Dine figure drawings, 1975-1979: published on the occasion of an exhibition organized by the Art Museum and Galleries, California State University, Long Beach, October 15-November 11, 1979”, HarperCollins Publishers
  • My life is really a history of observing forms and taking in imagery. I don't mean in a photographic way, I mean in a way of feeling them structurally.
