I wasn't interested in car parts per se, I was interested in either the color or the shape or the amount... Just the sheet metal. It already had a coat of paint on it. And some of it was formed.... I believe that common materials are the best materials.

Art is a liaison between some sort of deranged mentality and others who are not going through it.

I'm more interested in seeing what the material tells me than in imposing my will on it.

Art is basically made by dissatisfied people who are willing to find some means to relieve the dissatisfaction.

I think of my art materials not as junk but as garbage. Manure, actually: it goes from being the waste material of one being to the life-source of another.

Thus a new way of finding fluidity will inevitably be imposed on management and labor alike. The profit-sharing, or progress sharing union contract is the only possible way of satisfying labor and the consumer without saddling industry with fixed costs that in depression periods can kill off marginal companies like flies.

The good thing about being an artist, is it's a legitimate way of looking at things cross-eyed.
