It's just strange to think about...whether I'll be an artist or what I'll be doing.

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 get the feeling that sometimes the ideas work very well when you're doing them in the studio alone.

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

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.
