New York was not a romantic city at [80th]. Nobody knows who you are and you don't have to care about anybody else. It's a very cold city, I should say.

The media is the message. It carries the full intention and the meaning. Once you change it...it's very disturbing.

What counts in the end is what the government does.

I think of art as coming from daily life, daily experience. I think it's very important not to have it become work for some kind of elite circle.

My situation gives me certain ideas about beauty or the excitement of life, but that doesn't mean other people can necessarily appreciate it.

By participating in the society we live in, we understand our conditions and the way we relate to the world.

As a total activity - I practice curating, art, architecture, writing, and publishing all together. I still act as a living creature.
