Street posters allowed you to have the last word. If you put them up in your neighborhood, you were speaking to your neighbor.

The problem with prostitution in my experience is that it's often unsatisfying.

Doing art that has a happy ending, that doesn't seem really corny, is extremely difficult to pull off convincingly.

I find it very difficult to be funny, it's much easier to do tragedy than it is to do comedy.

Everything you do is political, even if it's abstract. You're making a political statement even if it's unwittingly.

With what we've been taught is the proper role of art, which is that you want to have it very neatly matted and framed and put on a white wall in some room where only a certain class of people are going to go in.

If you make a street poster and literally paste it on the street in a city like New York, where it's such a mixed population and so densely populated, and it stays up for a full week and doesn't get covered up by something else or pulled down, you will have fifty thousand people who will have seen it. It will be the poorest of the poor - some homeless man who lives on the street will see it and probably appreciate it, or some businessman or landlord will see it. Everyone will see it. And whether or not they even realize that they saw it, on some level it's affecting their consciousness.
