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."

The right angle is one of the world's basic shapes.

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

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'm always careful to say that I changed everything I found.

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.

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