A word is a thought, of course. But any image, including a photograph, may become an instrument of sufficiently lucid cogitation.

Your medium has to be alive to you, no matter what you do.

Minimalism itself had a very strong iconoclast impulse. You think of the sixties as loose and liberated, but in art it was actually quite the contrary.

A lot of writers and artists are like chefs who eat their own cooking in the kitchen and then deliver an empty plate with assurances that it's great.

There's art that I would readily buy if I could afford it, and enjoy, but would never write about because it doesn't seem significant.

All artists and creative people are basically unhappy people. If you were happy, that would mean you were content with the world as it was and why would you ever want to change it?

To me, the greatest artists are almost entirely non-verbal.
