The individual, man as a man, man as a brain, if you like, interests me more than what he makes, because I've noticed that most artists only repeat themselves.

Art is like a shipwreck; it's every man for himself.

Art has absolutely no existence as veracity, as truth.

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

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.

This concern which interests us more than anything else: the blurring of the distinction between art and life.

I feel shame, not for the wrong things I have done, but for the right things that I have failed to do.
