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

It is neither Art for Art, nor Art against Art. I am for Art, but for Art that has nothing to do with Art. Art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with Art.

And all of this, all these physical aspects of painting at that time excited me very much. You could do a picture in just black and white. I mean all the things, whether you're soliciting permission or not, do give you permission

I never allowed myself the luxury of those brilliant, beautiful colors until I went to India and saw people walking around in them or dragging them in the mud. I realised they were not so artificial.

I like photographs of anything uninteresting. Maybe just two doors on a wall... The point is to be uninteresting.

An empty canvas is full only if you want it to be full.

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