I dont have big anxieties. I wish I did. Id be much more interesting.

I was at Rutgers University, and that was a center for Fluxus in a way. But it wasn't what I was interested in. All of it had an impact - as did happenings - because I could see that art was changing from expressionism, which I was doing at the time, or thought I was doing. But it wasn't the direction I really wanted to go.

Painting stems from a sense of organisation, the sensed positions of contrasts. Not that it is about this.

When I met Steve Kaufman, I thought he was Gene Simmons, but what an artist talent he is. He will be an art force in the art world to deal with.

I'm never drawing the object itself; I'm only drawing a depiction of the object - a kind of crystallized symbol of it.

I don't think of form as a kind of architecture. The architecture is the result of the forming. It is the kinesthetic and visual sense of position and wholeness that puts the thing into the realm of art.

Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesnt look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.
