I don't see a big difference between painting and photography. Moreover, such distinctions mean nothing to me.

I began drawing as a very young child and had a grandfather who experimented with photography, so those things constituted my first exposure to art.

Yes, my works... are enshrined in museums, but I don't care if the pieces fall apart in 20 years.

It's the procedures in and for themselves that interest me. The picture isn't really necessary.

As a child, I copied Duerer drawings and Bruegel.

Mostly, drawings are things I make for myself - I do them in sketchbooks. They are mental experiments - private inner thoughts when I'm not sure what will come out.

Picabia is a very old painter who some people try to connect me to, but I refuse such comparisons very well.
