And we live in a kind of realm of language and words and so forth. So we can sort of relate to them. They don't exist without us. We create words.

I like contrasting between black and white and color.

I know where the mistakes are. Nothing is perfect and I understand that.

I try not to manipulate reality... What will happen, will happen. Let things be themselves.

I like the work hanging free in the frame. I don't like too much frame around it but I like a little breathing space around the piece.

I like working late at night and then going into the house and sitting down and watching a movie and then going to sleep.

I had always worked. I always had part-time jobs.

I relied mainly on other artists, who I think are smarter than critics, any critics or curators or anybody like that. They really know.

I liked the idea of the words floating in space and the space behind it moving all the time, ever changing.

Art was something that I was really interested in, probably more so than writing or anything else.

Developing your own style became something very interesting, very important to me.

The majority of everything has always been judged and manipulated by and on a minority's deeds

The social arrangements that produce responsibility are arrangements that create coercion, of some sort.

All imperfections are forced upon the imperfect, so the 'perfect' can live content and oblivious.

Whenever you surrender the most precious areas of your life to GOD, it's like trading in a pile of worthless pebbles for a truckload of priceless jewels.

Every labourer is worthy of his hire. No country can produce thousands of unpaid whole-time workers.

It were much better that a sentient being should never have existed, than that it should have existed only to endure unmitigated misery.
