“When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine.”
“Political debate: when charlatans come together to discuss their principles.”
“People assume that artists must talk about art and beauty and the sublime whenever we get together, but no, we usually talk about money.”
“Things it is not polite to discuss at the dinner table: politics, religion, and the walking dead.”
“An artist cannot speak about his art anymore than a plant can discuss horticulture.”
