Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments

Re-investing in one's own little moments of insight is very important

Being an artist is a very long game. It is not a 10-year game. I hope I'll be around making art when I'm 80

One cannot set out to make a work that's spiritual. What is a contemporary iconography for the spiritual? Is it some fuzzy space?

One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist

It is important that artists are not outside the equation, we don't stand on the sidelines. Artists are part of the story of a response, we cannot stand aside and let others make the response.

There's something imminent in the work, but the circle is only completed by the viewer.
