I didn't really have any interest in producing anything.

A mere copier of nature can never produce anything great.

The great problem was the selection of the readymade. I needed to choose an object without it impressing me: that is to say, without it providing any sort of aesthetic delectation. Moreover, I needed to reduce my own personal taste to absolute zero.

My soul desires a pre-industrial world, and since I can't have that, I don't really care for anything material.

I didn't have any interest in traditional art.

Nobody's interested in sweetness and light.

I never thought about doing anything other than making art.

I'm not really frightened by experimenting - that's the main thing. I really like mixing very old beautiful pieces that are from thrift shops or that have some historical value with quite new futuristic things.

I don't want to do something unless it feels organic.

I never made crazy clothes.
