Works of art produced in the contemporary world are a further expression of that. But I don't think there is an active, ongoing nihilist self-consciousness in the artist.

I think if you touch ordinary people, they're simply ordinary people, the way they've always been. They work hard, they don't have really as much as they should.

But I think doctors have always been either honest or dishonest.

I think it has other roots, has to do, in part, with a general anxiety in contemporary life... nuclear bombs, inequality of possibility and chance, inequality of goods allotted to us, a kind of general racist, unjust attitude that is pervasive.

Architecture should be dedicated to keeping the outside out and the inside in.

Of course, I did lots of what would be called graphic design now, what used to be called commercial art.

I think there is an element of nihilism about, but I don't think most artists feel their work is meaningless.
