ROY LICHTENSTEIN [singing]: This cave is like, you know, much better than the shower [laughter/singing]. It's really good in here.
[Music in]
I don't think that my precise way of working has much to do with art in general and isn't really enlightening. It--it also doesn't really show what I'm really thinking about. It helps me be consistent in the style I'm working in. I want it to appear like a cartoon or like something made by industry. I, of course, do it myself and--and don't want it done by someone else and like to make the lines myself. Doing art is something that feeds back to you. It's a learning process. [Unintelligible] it would be like thinking about playing the violin and not playing it or something. You--you have to interact with it or you don't go anywhere.
