One should be intelligent enough to know when not to be too intellectual

What the work of art looks like isn't too important.

You shouldn't be a prisoner of your own ideas.

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

The artist’s aim is not to instruct the viewer, but to give information, whether the viewer understands the information is incidental to the artist.

The most interesting characteristic of the cube is that it is relatively uninteresting. Compared to any other three-dimensional form, the cube lacks any aggressive force, implies no motion, and is least emotive. Therefore, it is the best form to use as a basic unit for any more elaborate function, the grammatical device from which the work may proceed.

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