The idea of words and photos was something that appealed to me.

I'm not a person - and my wife also - we don't really go to the beach or anything like that. We go to cities.

Heidegger wrote a book called Was Ist Das Ding - What Is a Thing? which was kind of interesting and influential to me, as a matter of fact. It's a small paperback, which I read. It's about the nature of thingness; what is it? It's a very penetrating analysis of that, and I think a rather influential book. I know other artists who have read it and come up with it.

I like the work hanging free in the frame. I don't like too much frame around it but I like a little breathing space around the piece.

You can't have silence on the radio; people will turn away from the station.

I have a lot of ideas for art. And it is really - I don't really have time to do them all.

A word refers to something in the real world and so, in a way, does a photo. It's not the thing itself, but it's a kind of suggestion of where you might look for that thing.
