There was a time when I restored antique planes to support my art habit.
From James Turrell
There are different stages when you fly. The first stage is the dollhouse effect, seeing everything on Earth like it's a model. Suddenly, all of your concerns seem very small.
I don't know if I believe in art. I certainly believe in light.
I was waiting for L.A. to always become something important. I gave up... I left in 1974.
I used to think that only people who were crazy were attracted to the desert, but once you've lived there, you become that way anyway.
New York has changed amazingly; it's gentrified everywhere, and it's a much gentler place.
You can't stop demographics. And show me a fence that ever worked. It didn't work at Hadrian's Wall. The Great Wall of China didn't work. The Berlin Wall.
It's really terrific to see Pittsburgh recognize the Mattress Factory.
I always thought that people who live in the desert are a little crazy. It could be that the desert attracts that kind of person, or that after living there, you become that. It doesn't make much difference. But now I've done my 40 years in the desert.
There aren't many artists who can feel sorry for me.
