Red is a colour I've felt very strongly about. Maybe red is a very Indian colour, maybe it's one of those things that I grew up with and recognise at some other level.

All ideas grow out of other ideas
Anish Kapoor
It's the role of the artist to pursue content
Anish Kapoor
We live in a fractured world. I've always seen it as my role as an artist to attempt to make wholeness.
Anish Kapoor
I don't want to have anything to say, it just gets in the way. I think the journey of an artist is a journey of discovery and some engagements with paint, with the nature of material, with bodily things...One wants to open the story, not close it.
Anish Kapoor
My work is not about my life history. It's not about the story of my neurosis
Anish Kapoor
One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist
Anish Kapoor
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
Anish Kapoor
I feel the symbolic world is the nub of a problem for an artist
Anish Kapoor
The most important things that one's working on are not necessarily the most important things that one thinks one's working on.
Anish Kapoor
One doesn't make art for other people, even though I am very concerned with the viewer
Anish Kapoor
Sculpture occupies the same space as your body.
Anish Kapoor
Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.
Anish Kapoor
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
Anish Kapoor
Maybe the way we have learned to look has changed in the last 25 years, and the exotic is much more acceptable. There are many artists now, younger artists, who work out of the exotic
Anish Kapoor
Re-investing in one's own little moments of insight is very important
Anish Kapoor
It's precisely in those moments when I don't know what to do, boredom drives one to try a host of possibilities to either get somewhere or not get anywhere.
Anish Kapoor
What one does in the studio is to pose a series of problems to oneself. I've got to look for some deeper meaning, for some reason for this thing to be in the world. There's enough stuff in the world.
Anish Kapoor
I'm not necessarily interested in being the best Indian artist. I want to be the best artist I can be. That's enough of a declaration of intent.
Anish Kapoor
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.
Anish Kapoor
If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride.
Anish Kapoor
