We may not like our times or many aspects of the time we live in but that is not the fault of art as such.

Remember the great adversity of art or anything else is a hurried life.

I think that art is supposed to be ahead of the times.

It's easier to make art for a society at a certain point in time with an understanding of what's going on.

The most wonderful time to be in the art world was in the sixties, because it wasn't a business - there was no business of doing art.

I think art doesn't have to be created in a period of misery, but it certainly helps.

In the experience of art, time seems not to exist.

I think all art comes out of conflict. When I write I am always looking for the dramatic kernel of an event, the junctures of people's lives when they go in one direction, not another.

I see things like they've never been seen before. Art is an accurate statement of the time in which it is made.
