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.

I didn't want to save art - I respected the older artists too much to think art needed saving. But I knew it was finished, even though, at that time, I didn't know what I would do.

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

A blind man can make art if what is in his mind can be passed to another mind in some tangible form.

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

When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art.

Your work isn't a high stakes, nail-biting professional challenge. It's a form of play. Lighten up and have fun with it.
