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

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.

I had no idea what art was. There was one art class in high school, but it didn't make a big impression on me. Then I went to college and thought I'd become a writer.

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

I knew I wasn't that good a writer, and all I could remember was that I could draw. I'm better at drawing than I am at writing.

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

The art world was very small and the people got together at parties. There was less commercialism.
