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 knew I had to take my ambition more seriously, so I enrolled at the Art Institute of Chicago. Then, in the fall, I went on a tour of my own. I didn't go to New York because that was too well known for its art scene.

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.

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

I am for an art that grows up not knowing it is art at all.

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

All the fun is locking horns with impossibilities.
