The young artist... will discover out of ordinary things the meaning of ordinariness. He will not try to make them extraordinary. Only their real meaning will be stated.

Doing life consciously was a compelling notion to me.

I am not so sure whether what we do now is art or something not quite art. If I call it art, it is because I wish to avoid the endless arguments some other name would bring forth.

Artist refers to a person, willfully enmeshed in a dilemma of categories, who performs as if none of them existed.

Objects of every sort are materials for the new art: paint, food, chairs, electric and neon lights, smoke, water, old socks, a dog, movies, a thousand other things which will be discovered by the present generation of artists.

Some of us will probably become famous. It will be an ironic fame fashioned largely by those who have never seen our work.
