One doesn't make art for other people, even though I am very concerned with the viewer

The most important things that one's working on are not necessarily the most important things that one thinks one's working on.

It's the role of the artist to pursue content

I feel the symbolic world is the nub of a problem for an artist

My first show sold within the first 3 minutes, and I came back to the studio and spent the next two and a half years making almost nothing

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

Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context-and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away.
