I was an adjunct. I never got tenure, never had it. I was a professor, though. But I never got tenure. I never really wanted tenure, to tell you the truth. Really wasn't - the guys who got - the tenured people were some of, like, the least interesting. And they were people I didn't really like very much anyway.

I had always spoken about the space between the art object and the person looking at it as this dynamic space, which I referred to over and over. So the idea of the space between two things was sort of interesting to me.

The notion of a thing, materiality, was something that I think was something very in peoples' minds when they were dealing with earth and metal and different kinds of metals and the interaction of different sorts of material.

I may have a lot of political opinions but it doesn't necessarily come into my work. I keep the two worlds separate.

I was never that big a rock-and-roll, rock guy. I really preferred jazz, you know, that kind of thing.

I didn't make videos for a long time because I hated the look of TV sets.

Any artwork is part of something larger, grander and, you know, the situation that it's in is very important.
