The works of previous artists have come from their own experiences or insights but haven't given the experience itself. They had set themselves up as a sort of interpreter to the layman... Our interest is in a form where you realize that the media are just perception.

Everybody is bound by some social rules. But I think that artists need some kind of freedom to explore their minds and that some of them tend to take that freedom to live a little more openly or a little more dangerously, sometimes a lot more self-destructively, than other people.

Artists are definitely, like, under a sort of microscope of scrutiny more than others.

It's really easy to project this whole ideology of what being an artiste is, and I'm just not down with intellectualizing it. I just think, if you feel like doing something, then do it.

I believe there is little to gain by exchanging opinions with other artists concerning either the ideology of art or technical methods.

Some artists want to confront. Some want to invoke thought. They're all necessary and they're all valid.

Any artist that's involved in their work is inevitably going to have a focus in what they do.

You know, for a long time I have been of the opinion that artists don't necessarily know what they're doing. You don't necessarily know what kind of universal concept you're tapping into.

So many artists try to be something that they're not.
