Artists tend to be beyond embarrassment the way little children tend to be beyond embarrassment.

You can always find somebody to beat up. This goes back to the schoolyard. Most men would think, Don't chum with girls. But I chummed with girls.

Artists tend to be beyond embarrassment the way little children tend to be beyond embarrassment.

A man climbs a mountain because it is there. An artist makes a work of art because it is not there.

Once you turn something into something, its universal usage is over.

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.
