Is it the obligation of great art to be continually interesting? I think not.

We live in a world of copies and we're fascinated when we encounter the originals (in a museum, for instance).

Art today is a new kind of instrument, an instrument for modifying consciousness and organizing new modes of sensibility . . . . Artists have had to become self-conscious aestheticians: continually challenging their means, their materials and methods.

I certainly identify myself as a feminist.

In NY sensuality completely turns into sexuality - no objects for the senses to respond to, no beautiful river, houses, people. Awful smells of the street, and dirt... Nothing except eating, if that, and the frenzy of the bed.

Sight is a promiscuous sense. The avid gaze always wants more.

Pornography is a theatre of types, never of individuals.
