I started to draw buildings. I called them Proposed Colossal Monuments - they weren't for real, not for actual building. It was more a critique of architecture.

I am for the art of underwear and the art of taxicabs. I am for the art of ice cream cones dropped on concrete.

When you're working with an object, you can put in almost anything you want, you can make it abstract.

The main reason for the colossal objects is the obvious one, to expand and intensify the presence of the vessel - the object.

You can take an object and simply put anything you want in that object, and I accessed that partly through Freudian ideas.

Chicago has a strange metaphysical elegance of death about it.

I don't do abstract art because I don't find it as interesting as I do subjects and depictions.
