I think the optimal artwork is in constant circulation with the world around itself.

I think the wildest wildlife you can find these days is in Chernobyl, where wolves are running around breeding quite well in the nuclear disaster zones.

The moment right now, it's a tragically regressive time we live in, you know. We just grounded the Concorde. Where's the future? We've lost the future.

Of course, I'd welcome protest. Good criticism is hard to find.

Seeing your work go into storage in an art museum is obviously a tragedy of any cultural product - which doesn't mean I am anti-institutional.

I don't know how this guy knew how much money I was making. I didn't know how much money I was making.

What if man were required to educate his children without the help of talking animals.

Baseball has been very good to me.

The most important thing is not to allow yourself to find an excuse that will let you not to do something you really want. Doing compromises makes people weaker.
