I don't know how to organise thoughts. I don't know how to have thoughts.

There was very little art in my childhood.

It's simple, you just take something and do something to it, and then do something else to it. Keep doing this, and pretty soon you've got something.

In the place where I was a child, there were no artists and there was no art, so I really didn't know what that meant. I think I thought it meant that I would be in a situation different than the one that I was in.

Take an object. Do something to it. Do something else to it.

One wants one's work to be the world, but of course it's never the world. The work is in the world; it never contains the whole thing.
