I always believed that my work should be unfinished in the sense that I encourage people to add their creativity to it, either conceptually or physically. Back in the 1960s, I was calling for 'Unfinished Music,' number one, and number two, with my artwork - I was taking unfinished work into the gallery. And that's how I was looking at it.

To have a relationship that is pure and passionate and beautiful - I think people are scared of having that now. Especially guys.

I'm a very obsessive type. If I do get into it, I'll soon be there 12 hours a day. I just don't want to do that.

I should think that people would be more interested in politics and all that is happening, rather than two lovebirds who are looking to wed. I think it's very nice that in an age when love is so scarce that people are willing to gamble on getting married.
