I relied mainly on other artists, who I think are smarter than critics, any critics or curators or anybody like that. They really know.

And after a while, you just pare things down more and more and more, until you get to certain basic things which just - basic ideas which just seem to work for you over and over again.

I didn't like anti-Vietnam War art. I didn't like feminist art. I thought it was heavy-handed and stupid - as art.

I never ever approached a dealer. I have always been approached by dealers or curators or whatever.

The space between things is important to me. The projections, that darkness between the words or the images is very important.

And when you see artists like Donald Judd and so forth being referred to as conceptual, what the hell does that mean? It's a totally meaningless term.
