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

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

Matter as matter rather than matter as symbol is a conscious political position, essentially Marxist.

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 was hanging out and drinking as long as I could afford it, or as long as somebody else could afford it.

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

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