Screwing things up is a virtue. Being correct is never the point. I have an almost fanatically correct assistant, and by the time she re-spells my words and corrects my punctuation, I can't read what I wrote. Being right can stop all the momentum of a very interesting idea.

There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic painting.

I don't really trust ideas - especially good ones... Rather, I put my trust in the materials that confront me, because they put me in touch with the unknown.

If I declare it to be so, then this is a portrait.

Very quickly a painting is turned into a facsimile of itself when one becomes so familiar with with it that one recognizes it without looking at it.

My concern is never art, but always what art can be used for.

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