Duchamp is known for calling a thing art, rather than making it. A lot of that is picked up in pop art, too.

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

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 just started to do my own thing for about a year and a half, and I worked in the evening selling phonograph records. Then I said to myself, "I'm afraid I have to go to New York after all."

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

Everything I do is completely original-I made it up when I was a kid.
