Carl Andre
Image
I never drove a car in my life. Given my drinking habits in those days, I would have been dead a long time ago - stumbling out of a bar at 4 a.m. and getting into a car.
Carl Andre
Image
A place is an area within an environment that has been altered in such a way to make the general environment more conspicuous.
Carl Andre
Image
I'm a feminist. I've always been in favor of women.
Carl Andre
