I've been criticized by my generation, artists from the '70s - and there's nothing more tragic than artists from the '70s still doing art from the '70s - because I blur all these borders between fashion and pop.

I've been influenced by some of the greatest designers. Charles Eames. And Bruno Munari in the '50s in Italy - when they had to retool the industry of war into an industry to help society. In a way, I'm influenced by designers that were there at a radical time of change.

You should be able to be influenced by art no matter where it comes from.

I don't think you should categorize yourself as an artist.

There are different kinds of artists: the ones that inspire you, and the ones that overwhelm you.

I have been known as the minimal and conceptual artist for over five decades. I think I haven't changed much.

When it came to my art, I went my own way and did not follow the trends.

My style is not trendy by any means; my inner artists loves to shine through in my wardrobe.

I've probably represented almost every major artist in the world, either directly or peripherally, at one time or another.

Giorgio Morandi's paintings make me think that artists may not totally choose, or even control, their subjects or style.
