I went through about six or seven painting methods just to see what I didn't want to do. And then I got off the wall, and went into the environment.

Society likes to file you away, put you in this or that category. And I never fit any category. Maybe that's why I was left out of a lot of things, or why my work was not really understood, because there was no precedent for it.

What I did for my last act as a painter, if you call me a painter, was to photograph the weave of the canvas, and enlarge it and enlarge it until it became like a landscape.

We use up words as we use up images. We use up everything, and that's good, because it makes us grow.

People don't hurt what they love.

If I like a person, I like them. I may like the art and not like the person.

When I'm gone, you'll be sitting in a cafe and say, "Do you remember Agnes?"
