"A man climbs a mountain because it is there. An artist makes a work of art because it is not there."
"My art springs from my desire to have things in the world which would otherwise never be there."
"Art is an intersection of many human needs."
"What do little kids do? They crawl on the floor and they build with blocks. I just continued to do that for the rest of my life."
"Art is what we do. Culture is what is done to us. A photograph of an art object is not the art object. An essay about an artist's work is not the artist's work."
