I always was alone. And I'm alone today. It's fine. I have lots of friends, but not in terms of working together.

I never considered myself a performance artist.

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.

Anything important has to be almost invisible. And underrated. So the understructure should be underrated, but strong enough to hold the earth.

People don't hurt what they love.

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.

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