"Whether we change our lives or do nothing, we have responded. To do nothing is to do something."

Jonathan Safran Foer

“In the late 70's I started to make drawings of the ordinary objects I had been using in my work. Initially I wanted them to be ready-made drawings of the kind of common objects I had always used in my work. I was surprised to discover I couldn't find the simple, neutral drawings I had assumed existed, so I started to make them myself.”

“When you can, always advise people to do what you see they really want to do. Doing what they want to do, they may succeed; doing what they don't want to do, they won't”
“Every time you compete, try harder to improve on your last performance. Give nothing short of your very best effort.”
“Maybe I should sit. Plenty of people use sitting as a way to pass the time.”
“I embody EVERYTHING from the Godly to the party...”
“I know what people want to hear is the connection with the son, Roger, when you have a child. I would love to tell that there was an epiphany as to what it is to be a mom, but I didn't feel any difference there.”
“Honestly, I am so ignorant of how dance works that I cant even imagine a story that you would want to tell through movement.”
“Do you realize that people don't know how to read Kafka simply because they want to decipher him? Instead of letting themselves be carried away by his unequaled imagination, they look for allegories â€” and come up with nothing but clichÃ©s: life is absurd (or it is not absurd), God is beyond reach (or within reach), etc. You can understand nothing about art, particularly modern art, if you do not understand that imagination is a value in itself.”
