The only art I'm interested in is the art I don't understand right away. If you understand it right away it really has no use except as nostalgia.

Accreditation. The "doctorate of fine art." I've never heard something so stupid in my entire life.

What art is not processed? "Conceptual art." Somebody making a painting has to conceive of the size. I don't understand where these words came from. I can't accept the fact that the concept of art as our concept of humanity is expanding.

I would imagine, a very large percentage of people who get something for art and they do something else, and they have some excess resources. And they trade those resources with artists whose work makes them feel good, or feel better, or question. And the artist, if they're smart, they use it to buy the most expensive thing in the world: time to make more. The more that come, the better it is for these people, their children, the people they care about, fills the society with a real constant thing.

In my eyes, making art is very often about something that you don't know.

Once you know about a work of mine you own it. There's no way I can climb inside somebody's head and remove it.

There's a radical change in the relationship with the human being and society. Art now is an open conversation with the society. Previously there was a necessity for a little bit of screaming and shouting just to get it into the conversation.
