And I think that even today, New York still has more of this unexpected quality around every corner than any place else. It's something quite extraordinary

Understanding is a form of blindness. Good art, I think, can never be understood.

I got so I was really just sick of sculpture.

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

But I was in awe of the painters; I mean I was new in New York, and I thought the painting that was going on here was just unbelievable

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.

I feel strong in my belief, based on my widely traveled collaborations, that a one-to-one contact through art contains potent peaceful powers, and is the most non-elitist way to share information, hopefully seducing us into creating mutual understandings for the benefit of all.
