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.

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

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

I thought I might have to give up art, but I couldn't think of anything else to do.

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

A good teacher is like a good artist. They go right to the most difficult part of whatever's going on.

And then what makes the work interesting is if you choose the right questions.
