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 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.

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

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.

I like to use my hands and make things... It might seem pretty stupid or pointless but that doesn't matter... some of the most interesting work is the stuff that starts like that - out of a raw need for activity.

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

The true artist helps the world by revealing mystic truths.
