The True Artist Helps The World By

I Thought I Might Have To Give Up Art, But I Couldn't Think Of Anything Else To Do.

I Want To Be In The Studio. I Want To Be Doing Something. You Just Do Whatever Is At Hand, And You Don't Even Worry About Whether It's Going To Be Interesting Or Not Interesting To Anybody Else-or Even Yourself. You Just Have To Make Something.

But If You Can Find That Spot - I Suppose It's Like Running - I Used To Be A Swimmer And Swim Laps, And You Just Have To Be There With What You're Doing.

What Is It That An Artist Does When He Is Left Alone In His Studio? My Conclusion Was That If I Was An Artist And I Was In The Studio, Then Everything I Was Doing In The Studio Should Be Art . . . . From That Point On, Art Became More Of An Activity And Less Of A Product.

It's Just Strange To Think About...whether I'll Be An Artist Or What I'll Be Doing.
