I didn't like men because they were so physically competitive. Men are always making a pecking order. "I can beat you up and you can beat him up ..."

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

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.

I mean, art for art's sake is ridiculous. Art is for the sake of one's needs.

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.

It is futile for an artist to try to create an environment because you have an environment around you all the time. Any living organism has an environment.

Art is what we do. Culture is what is done to us. A photograph of an art object is not the art object. An essay about an artist's work is not the artist's work.
