I used to encourage everyone I knew to make art; I don't do that so much anymore.

There's obviously nothing wrong with selling your art - only an idiot with a trust fund would tell you otherwise. But it's confusing to know how far you should take it.

People seem to think if they dress like a revolutionary they don`t actually have to behave like one.

Art is not like other culture because its success is not made by its audience. The public fill concert halls and cinemas every day, we read novels by the millions, and buy records by the billions. 'We the people' affect the making and quality of most of our culture, but not our art.

People who enjoy waving flags don't deserve to have one.

Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.

The art world is the biggest joke going. It's a rest home for the overprivileged, the pretentious, and the weak. And modern art is a disgrace - never have so many people used so much stuff and taken so long to say so little.
