"I still think the social function of art is that kind of negative aesthetic. Otherwise there’s no social function for it."

"Now, since we’re in the era of post-modernism, I can actually say that I really do take ideas. If I see a good idea, forget about it! It’s mine! And I often put the person’s name in the piece. It is a kind of a philosophical idea, a truth, that any object of art is really made out of all the other objects of art that come before it and at the same time."
