I'm still finding myself as an artist. I'm still experimenting a little bit.

My whole artistic life has always been about change, change, change, move on, move on. It's the only thing I find interesting.

I'm an artist, and the need to get inside myself and be creative and be other people is a part of who I am. I don't imagine I'll abandon that completely.

There are a lot of people who can now see me as an artist for the first time.

When I see a new artist I give myself a lot of time to reflect and decide whether it's art or not.

Sometime during the mid-50s I said, 'I am an artist.' Before that, for many years, I had said, 'I'm going to be an artist.' Then I went through a change of mind and a change of heart. What made 'going to be an artist' into 'being an artist', was, in part, a spiritual change.

I have a lot of respect for all the artists I get compared to, even if, as an artist, you prefer to have your own identity.

I make a good living and I've never looked at myself as being an artiste.

I find as an artist if I'm not expressed relatively consistently, I get really depressed.

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