El que no cultiva su mente va directamente a la degeneración de la personalidad.

Rico no es el que mas tiene, sino el que menos necesita.

There are plenty of artists who don’t have exhibitions. There’s plenty of art that’s never seen. And I think I’m intrigued by that. Making work that does not have a destination has its loneliness and its sadness about it. And many artists endure that for their entire lives, and it’s heroic. The novel that never gets published, should it never have been written? Of course it should be. It’s making a fantastic contribution to culture of the moment because that individual has that huge urge to do that without any other qualifying pressures. Those are my sort of private thoughts that I think there’s alot about the art world and the way we experience art that’s fantastic, but I think there’s a lot that’s not entirely spoken about or recognized, which is the unseen and the unknown and the creative act as a deeply private experience. There is this great, powerful desire to just create something. And does that just get eroded away? I hope not.
