I was always fascinated by diagramming a sentence. Because that is going into a space, going into a world of language.

I'm using my own person in pieces, but I'm trying to turn my person into a nonperson in the sense of a person without will, without volition. I'm subjecting myself to a scheme.

I like Richard Serra sculptures too but I wish they had a goddamn hot dog stand inside.

It's not the bullet that kills you, it's the hole.

Architecture is not about space but about time.

I wanted to be involved with the making of some kind of parallel world. I thought, there's no reason to go to different parts of our world, because you can write them. You can stay home, stay in a little room, and imagine all these worlds. And I wanted to do that. Why did I want to do that, I'm not sure if I can tell.

I didn't want to admit that I was a performer. A performer meant spotlights - a performer had connotations of theater. I would have preferred agent to performer.
