I don't think any one person, whether artist or not, has been given permission by anyone to put the responsibility of the way things are on anyone else

I'm quite taken aback when I get something that appears to be technically a good photograph, because it's not necessarily my intention.

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

Success is a worn down pencil.

You have to have the time to feel sorry for yourself in order to be a good abstract expressionist.

For me there is no difference between art and life.

A pair of socks is no less suitable to make a painting with than wood, nails, turpentine, oil and fabric.
