"At this time in my life, I’m ready to accept or own a kind of romance and melancholy or melodrama that I wasn’t ready to reveal before. It was always there in my inner life as an artist, but I was too afraid to share it."
"Room with My Soul Left Out, Room That Does Not Care" (1984)

"[Living in New Mexico] lets me do the kinds of things outside that I couldn't do if I lived in town, in the city...it helps me to have a sense of place and security to go in the studio, because that's the place where you make yourself insecure."
- Bruce Nauman
