If I saw the art around me that I liked, then I wouldn't do art.

I think the term 'conceptual art' is a useful term for writers, a basket to put people in, like Pop Art or Impressionism or whatever.

Find the most puzzling kind of art you can think of, and then go out and try to approximate it with your camera. Take a photograph that corresponds to it. (Assignment to students.)

I don't try to be funny. It's just that I feel the world is a little bit absurd and off-kilter and I'm sort of reporting.

It's human desire to be understood. And we always feel we're not understood.

Well, why is this art? Why isn't that art?

Probably one of the worst things that happened to photography is that cameras have viewfinders.
