This was my first encounter with art as art (he saw 'Pinky' painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence and 'The Blue Boy" painted by Thomas Gainborough).. ..somebody actually MADE those paintings.. ..(it) was the first time I realized you could be an artist.

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.

Every time I've moved, my work has changed radically.

Success is a worn down pencil.

Photography is the most direct communication in non-violent contacts.

Work is my joy... Work is my therapy, I don't know anybody who loves work as much as I do.
