Also minimalism is a term that all of us who share so little in common and who are lumped together as minimalists are not terribly happy with.

I have my own definition of minimalism, which is that which is created with a minimum of means.

Minimalism has a connotation of being reductive, and not in the best way. 'Brevetist' is a better term. I'm trying to be as concise as possible and still getting across to the reader. When information is delivered in that way, it is very satisfying to me.

Minimalism now is a reaction to what came before. It's absolutely of its time. Music moved into the set theory thing, and moved out of it.

Minimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent, sophisticated audiences in history. We don't any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.

I've been accused of being a minimalist writer. I don't like a lot of verbiage in there.

The Minimalists are idealist. They want to minimize themselves in favor of the ideal... But I just can't. You see, my paintings are not cool.

The form language used by the ancient Egyptians in their structures is minimal.
