What I am really concerned about is what art is supposed to be - and can become.

In art, the only one who really knows whether what you've done is honest is the artist.

Sometimes I just have a few people over to see the new work, and I think it works better than in a museum situation, where the public is just presented with a large area.

But if you can find that spot - I suppose it's like running - I used to be a swimmer and swim laps, and you just have to be there with what you're doing.

And the part about being a professional artist is that you can tell, and you can do it over again, even if you can't say how you got there exactly.
