I wanted to kill art for myself.. ..a new thought for that object.

I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.

The artist performs only one part of the creative process. The onlooker completes it, and it is the onlooker who has the last word.

I believe that a picture, a work of art, lives and dies just as we do.

I was interested in ideas, not merely visual products. I wanted to put painting once again at the service of the mind.

I'm not at all sure that the concept of the readymade isn't the most important single idea to come out of my work.
