Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

What the art world has done, it has been constantly been pushing the boundaries about what art can be. It's like expanding its territory.

The best art is realized when you can share the experience of making of it and not just the presentation of it, so that the audience is part of the creation and not just part of the consumption. Then it becomes much more full-bodied and robust.

Making art is different for everyone.

What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.

I mean, art for art's sake is ridiculous. Art is for the sake of one's needs.

There can be nothing exclusive about substantial art. It comes directly out of the heart of the experience of life and thinking about life and living life.

Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.

You can turn something into art just because of the way you tell people to look at it.

Art is for anyone. It just isn't for everyone. Still, over the past decade, its audience has hugely grown, and that's irked those outside the art world, who get irritated at things like incomprehensibility or money.
