A TWO-DIMENSIONAL SURFACE WITHOUT ANY ARTICULATION IS A DEAD EXPERIENCE

If you're smart, you abandon the things that didn't work out so well, and you enlarge upon the things that seem to be successful.

I want to produce images that startle one into recollection.

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 think I live such a boring life. But I can't imagine any other kind of life, so I guess it's the life I want.

I can't imagine a life without thinking, doing art. I don't feel any need to be a world traveler or an adventurer. I'm very happy doing what I'm doing. I think somehow I know that I should have a larger vision of art, but I can't think of what that would be.

Most of my friends are women. I think women are more interesting to talk to.
