Billy Childish Quotes

I’ve dubbed myself as an amateur, not because I work in different field, but because I do what I do for love Picture Quote #1

Bowie and McCartney arrived, and the biscuits and caviare started and I left immediately. I don’t like shouting across rooms, with people in shiny suits who look like used-car salesmen Picture Quote #1

I’ve not been an admirer of contemporary music since punk rock went off the boil in 1977, but once a year I’ll listen to ‘Spiral Scratch’ by the Buzzcocks, or ‘Hippy Hippy Shake’ by the Swinging Blue Jeans. Otherwise, I can put up with Chopin or shakuhachi flute in the background Picture Quote #1

I liked drawing and painting, because the only failure would be to listen to the doubters who wanted me to stop drawing and painting because ‘you aren’t going to make a living doing that.’ I liked looking in art books at the work of painters Picture Quote #1

Being a fan of authentic Dada, I find today’s art - what I call ‘Bankers’ Dada’ - mind-numbingly dull. The most challenging work I’ve seen of late is by The British Art Resistance. Their document, ‘A Call for Heroes in an Age of Cowards’, is apt in these days of witless chancers Picture Quote #1

I make sure I make a painting - that’s my job. And I cook the Sunday dinner Picture Quote #1

I’ve dubbed myself as an amateur, not because I work in different field, but because I do what I do for love Picture Quote #1

We believe in a society in delusion, and if you’re awake and not deluded people tell you you’re mad. That’s why I’m a freak and they’re not. But I’m actually not Picture Quote #1

I’m not trying to achieve perfection. I don’t like this forced control people have over work Picture Quote #1

I like feeling at home and knowing people. I like talking about ideas and being friendly Picture Quote #1

We are not actually in charge of life, yet we behave as if we are the masters of our own destiny. The realization of this fact is quite a hard one. The ridiculousness of our pomposity and presumption can only result in anger or humor Picture Quote #1

A moustache to a man is the same as a fringe is to a woman. When you’ve got it, you want to grow it out; when you’ve grown it out, you want to cut it Picture Quote #1
