If you really want to do it, you do it. There are no excuses.

I like to combine different aspects in my work, to cover different areas, but I do see them as being separate.

What is it that an artist does when he is left alone in his studio? My conclusion was that if I was an artist and I was in the studio, then everything I was doing in the studio should be art . . . . From that point on, art became more of an activity and less of a product.

I'm surprised when the work appears beautiful, and very pleased. And I think work can be very good and very successful without being able to call it beautiful, although I'm not clear about that. The work is good when it has a certain completeness; and when it's got a certain completeness, then it's beautiful.

If I was an artist, and I was in the studio, then whatever I was doing in the studio must be art.

I don't like to think about being an influence. It's embarrassing.

If you choose the wrong questions and you proceed, you still get a result, but it's not interesting.
