There were times in the past that I got angry at some members of the press whose writings greatly disrupted my serious pursuit of art and my behavior as an artist.

More quotes by Yayoi Kusama
I believe that eyes are very important motifs. Thats something that can discern the peace and love.
Yayoi Kusama
More and more I think about the role of the arts, and as an artist, I think that it's important that I share the love and peace.
Yayoi Kusama
You know, I must really work hard. I'm in the last stage of my artistic life. But I'm so busy that I can't even think of dying. I fly all over the world, drive everywhere, and when I get home, I find interviewers and photographers and TV shows waiting for me. No wonder I'm so busy.
Yayoi Kusama
I have a flood of ideas in my mind. I just follow my vision.
Yayoi Kusama
My life is a dot lost among thousands of other dots.
Yayoi Kusama
It is my wish to leave a message to the whole world from the universe, a message of love and peace to the people of the world.
Yayoi Kusama
I want to become more famous, even more famous.
Yayoi Kusama
Since childhood, I have been painting, for no special reason, numerous dots and nets, drawing from the hallucinations that seem to appear endlessly. I can't explain why if you ask me.
Yayoi Kusama
Become one with eternity. Become part of your environment. Take off your clothes. Forget yourself. Make love. Self-destruction is the only way to peace.
Yayoi Kusama
I would like to dedicate to the whole world a great message. It is a message from Kusama who has struggled to survive as a human being and as an artist, and whose life has been brightly lit and strengthened by her pursuit of truth.
Yayoi Kusama
If it were not for art, I would have killed myself a long time ago.
Yayoi Kusama
The thought of continually eating something like macaroni, spat out by machinery, fills me with fear and revulsion, so I make macaroni sculptures. I make them and make them and then keep on making them, until I bury myself in the process. I call this 'obliteration.'
Yayoi Kusama
A polka-dot has the form of the sun, which is a symbol of the energy of the whole world and our living life, and also the form of the moon, which is calm. Round, soft, colourful, senseless and unknowing. Polka-dots can't stay alone like the communicative life of people, two or three polka-dots become movement... Polka-dots are a way to infinity.
Yayoi Kusama
My ideas and creativity are the sources of inspiration for me.
Yayoi Kusama
I have a large number of enthusiastic admirers of my art. And they all sing a hymn in praise from the bottom of their hearts for my art.
Yayoi Kusama
I, Kusama, am the modern Alice in Wonderland.
Yayoi Kusama
I am just another dot in the world
Yayoi Kusama
Now our Earth is swarmed with issues such as life, death, illness, wars, economic crises and many others. It is time that we sing out loud the message, 'Love forever.'
Yayoi Kusama
With just one polka dot, nothing can be achieved. In the universe, there is the sun, the moon, the earth, and hundreds of millions of stars. All of us live in the unfathomable mystery and infinitude of the universe. Pursuing philosophy of the universe through art under such circumstances has led me to what I call stereotypical repetition.
Yayoi Kusama
My art originates from hallucinations only I can see. I translate the hallucinations and obsessional images that plague me into sculptures and paintings. All my works in pastels are the products of obsessional neurosis and are therefore inextricably connected to my disease. I create pieces even when I don’t see hallucinations, though.
