I'm in favor of an art that does something other than just sit on its ass in a museum.

Food is like clay; you can sculpt with it. Also it has an odor, and you can eat it. I don't eat a lot of cake, but I do make cakes! And unlike the Campbell's Soup Cans, my food is a humanized form and scale.

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

Ox-Bow was a very free place, very open. You could do whatever you wanted to do.

Judson Church was a very important place because they believed in art. They also took care of drug addicts. Without the Judson, nothing could have happened.

I was always interested in drawing. As a child, I started my own country, which was called Neubern. It was located in the South Atlantic. I did the documentation of Neubern in great detail. I drew everything that was there, all the houses and all the cars and all the people. We even had a navy and an air force. I spent a lot of time drawing.

All the fun is locking horns with impossibilities.
