The art world is an all-volunteer force. No one has to be here if he or she doesn't want to be, and we should be associating with anyone we want to.

There are many, many art worlds. Art contains multitudes.

Almost all institutions own a lot more art than they can ever show, much of it revealing for its timeliness, genius, or sheer weirdness.

Make an enemy of jealousy and envy. As fast and soon as you can…. The art world is high school with money.

Art is good, bad, boring, ugly, useful to us or not.

Don't talk. I can't hear myself see.

I like something about George W. Bush. A lot. After spending more than a decade having almost physiological-chemical reactions anytime I saw him, getting the heebie-jeebies whenever he spoke - after being sure from the start that he was a Gremlin on the wing of America - I really like the paintings of George W. Bush.
