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

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

I wasn't really that interested in objects. I was interested in ideas.

I believe that the artist's involvement in the capitalist structure is disadvantageous to the artist and forces him to produce objects in order to live.

Minimal art went nowhere.

Unless you're involved with thinking about what you're doing, you end up doing the same thing over and over, and that becomes tedious and, in the end, defeating.

All intervening steps, scribbles, sketches, drawings, failed work models, studies thoughts, conversations, are of interest. Those that show the thought process of the artist are sometimes more interesting than the final product
