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.

Artists are better at finding a way to kill their time.

A lot of ideas don't translate very well into art. To say, "Oh my god, the grass is green ..." You're going to end up with a big green painting.

I will not make anymore boring art.

I was always interested in language. I thought, why not? If a painting, by the normal definition of the term, is paint on canvas, why can't it be painted words on canvas?

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.
