I never drove a car in my life. Given my drinking habits in those days, I would have been dead a long time ago - stumbling out of a bar at 4 a.m. and getting into a car.

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

By nature, I am a materialist... It is exactly these impingements upon our sense of touch and so forth that I'm interested in.

Americans understand better than the Europeans and the English that any publicity is good.

Isn't it wonderful to be an artist whose works have mostly been lost?

Every time you work, you have to do it all over again, to rid yourself of this dross. I suppose for a person who is not an artist or not attempting art, it is not dross, because it is the common exchange of everyday life.

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