I'm afraid we get a great deal of our exposure to art through magazines and through slides and I think this is dreadful, this is anti-art because art is direct experience with something in the world and photography is just a rumor, a kind of pornography of art.

The world is imperfect, and young people are always trying to perfect it and they always fail - which is a good thing. Who'd want to live in a perfect world?

I'm a feminist. I've always been in favor of women.

What I made depended on what I found on the street. At least in the beginning, my materials came from the street.

My art will reflect not necessarily conscious politics but the unanalysed politics of my life.

An artist, to achieve anything in art, has to finally do the thing that nobody else wants to do and nobody else has thought to do.

My works have always been unjoined. People were always making variations of my works, and I just said, "I don't want to know." You can't put limits on those pieces. You can't be there all of the time when they're installed.
