There's always been a potential erotic possibility with objects.

Mine was not pop art. I maybe started with a subject, but I changed the subject.

My work doesn't have the same rules as, say, Andy [Warhol]'s work. But it's gathered together for the simple reason that we all worked with the images and objects around us.

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

Actually, New York is great for playing around. I made a lot of studies for New York-a big vacuum cleaner lying on the Battery in Manhattan.

I think the Freudian impulse is in everything, so I just accept it. I don't always believe what Freud is saying but it sounds like fun.

I was very happy to be living in New York at that time, more than in the present time. Now it's all commerce.
