I Believe Art Has To Take Responsibility

As A Child I Had No Toys; Our House Was Bombed, But There Were Lots Of Bricks. Ruins Are Wonderful Because They Are The Beginning Of Something New, You Can Do Something With Them.

I Never See A Forest That Does Not Bear A Mark Or A Sign Of History.

When I See A New Artist I Give Myself A Lot Of Time To Reflect And Decide Whether It's Art Or Not.

I Was Interested In Transcendence From A Very Early Age. I Was Interested In What Was Over There, What Was Behind Life. So When I Had My First Communion I Was Very Disappointed. I Had Expected Something Amazing And Surprising And Spiritual. Instead All I Got Was A Bicycle. That Wasn't What I Was After At All.

Art Really Is Something Very Difficult. It Is Difficult To Make, And It Is Sometimes Difficult For The Viewer To Understand. It Is Difficult To Work Out What Is Art And What Is Not Art.
