It's so easy to be undisciplined. And to be disciplined is so against my character, my general nature anyway, that I have to strain a little bit to keep on the right track.
Robert Rauschenberg
This was my first encounter with art as art (he saw 'Pinky' painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence and 'The Blue Boy painted by Thomas Gainborough).. ..somebody actually MADE those paintings.. ..(it) was the first time I realized you could be an artist.

Robert Rauschenberg
I used to think of that line in Allen Ginsberg's 'Howl', about the 'sad cup of coffee'.. ..I have had cold coffee and hot coffee and lousy coffee, But I've never had a sad cup of coffee.
Robert Rauschenberg
I was much happier when I had less responsibility... when my only responsibility was to my work and to myself.
Robert Rauschenberg
But I was in awe of the painters I mean I was new in New York, and I thought the painting that was going on here was just unbelievable
Robert Rauschenberg
Success is a worn down pencil.
Robert Rauschenberg
I don't think there's anything really wrong with influence because I think that one can use another man's art as material either literally or just implying that they're doing that, without it representing a lack of a point of view.
Robert Rauschenberg
The only thing that I could get with chance, and I never was able to use it, was that I would end up with something quite geometric or the spirit that I was interested in, indulging in, was gone.
Robert Rauschenberg
Work is my joy... Work is my therapy, I don't know anybody who loves work as much as I do.
Robert Rauschenberg
