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

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

Why carve? It's a better sculpture that way. I'll never improve the block. So I just started using uncarved blocks.

I had no place to put anything. I would give my sculpture away because I had no place to put it.

I didn't study the piano - the piano studied me.

I was one of the first post-studio artists. I used to do my works in the streets. I used to find them in the streets, and I used to leave them in the streets.

I've never been a representational artist at all. Most artists have been representational. That's when you discover yourself.
