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

If I didn't think what I was doing had something to do with enlarging the boundaries of art, I wouldn't go on doing it.

Of course, the '60s was a study in decadence. Everything just got worse and worse, and at the end of the '60s, everything was so horrible that people were killing each other.

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

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

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

I am for an art that tells you the time of day, or where such and such a street is. I am for an art that helps old ladies across the street.
