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.

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

My work is about helping humanity.

I wish I didn't have daily problems to deal with, so that I could just concentrate on learning more, every single day.

I had drawings that were the first time that mathematics was put into visual form.

I never considered myself a performance artist.

I'm mostly self-taught. I didn't learn much in school.
