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.

And sometimes the question that you pose or the project that you start yourself turns into something else, you know, but at least it gets you started.

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

The true artist helps the world by revealing mystic truths.

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.

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

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.
