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.

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

I think it was Henry Moore who was asked where he got his ideas for his sculptures, and he said something like, "I continue to do as an adult the things I did as a child." I think that's what art is about.

I never stopped doing what I did as a child.

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.

I didn't like men, but I liked women.

I've often stopped working for long periods.
