I believe that the artist doesn't know what he does. I attach even more importance to the spectator than to the artist.

Since the tubes of paint used by the artist are manufactured and ready made products we must conclude that all the paintings in the world are 'readymades aided' and also works of assemblage.

No, the thing to do is try to make a painting that will be alive in your own lifetime.

I don’t care about the word ‘art’ because it has been so discredited. So I want to get rid of it. There is an unnecessary adoration of ‘art’ today.

I've decided that art is a habit-forming drug. That's all it is, for the artist, for the collector, for anybody connected with it.

I think there is a great deal to the idea of not doing a thing, but that when you do a thing, you don't do it in five minutes or in five hours, but in five years.
