I assumed that everything would lead to complete failure, but I decided that didn't matter – that would be my life.

I never wish for critics.

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.

One works without thinking how to work.

I decided that if my work contained what I could identify as a likeness to other work, I would remove it.

Intention involves such a small fragment of our consciousness and of our mind and of our life.

I often find that having an idea in my head prevents me from doing something else. Working is therefore a way of getting rid of an idea.
