The Vogels were quite strict in what they acquired. They never acquired a projection. They never acquired a sound piece. They were never big on photos that much, unless it was photos documenting something. They had some limitations into what they bought.

If somebody gives me a chance to do something, I am going to use that space, that time, that light, that whatever it is and try and work with it.

And yes, there are things I want to keep, that I like around me - especially when there's very little left. I just want to keep those little bits of reminders of my past. There are certain drawings from the '60s certain little paintings from the '60s that I keep.

I'm fortunate in one respect that I don't have a lot of work in my studio. Most of it's out, gone either sold or in galleries. I work with a lot of galleries.

Art was something that I was really interested in, probably more so than writing or anything else.

You can't just suddenly change gears and reverse yourself or go to the left or the right because there is no left or right. There's always a certain direction that you're moving in.

I consider drawings finished works of art, first of all. However, the ideas can be something that can be developed into something larger. I don't make so many drawings anymore since I'm working with language. I used to make more when I worked with sculptural things, especially the wire pieces.

I was never that big a rock-and-roll, rock guy. I really preferred jazz, you know, that kind of thing.

ne thing you have to develop as an artist is a confidence in what you're doing and that you're right about it.

And we live in a kind of realm of language and words and so forth. So we can sort of relate to them. They don't exist without us. We create words.

I was good at art - always good at art.
