I don't like masterpieces having one-night stands in collectors' homes between auctions.

My art is about paying attention - about the extremely dangerous possibility that you might be art.

I really feel sorry for people who think things like soap dishes or mirrors or Coke bottles are ugly, because they're surrounded by things like that all day long, and it must make them miserable.

I used to think of that line in Allen Ginsberg's 'Howl', about the 'sad cup of coffee'.. ..I have had cold coffee and hot coffee and lousy coffee, But I've never had a sad cup of coffee.

With me, it's much more a matter of accepting whatever happens, accepting all these elements from the outside and then trying to work with them in a sort of free collaboration.

Success is a worn down pencil.

I got so I was really just sick of sculpture.
