Artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach.

During the '70s I was interested in words and meaning as a way of making art.

Artists teach critics what to think. Critics repeat what the artists teach them.

I was not interested in irony; I wanted to emphasize the primacy of the idea in making art

Most ideas that are successful are ludicrously simple

Irrational judgements lead to new experience.

Conceptual art is only good if the idea is good.
