If I like a person, I like them. I may like the art and not like the person.

I always was alone. And I'm alone today. It's fine. I have lots of friends, but not in terms of working together.

What I did for my last act as a painter, if you call me a painter, was to photograph the weave of the canvas, and enlarge it and enlarge it until it became like a landscape.

I had drawings that were the first time that mathematics was put into visual form.

Words are changing. I find that old expressions are outdated, so when I write something, I try to find a new expression that hasn't been born yet. It's difficult.

When I'm gone, you'll be sitting in a cafe and say, "Do you remember Agnes?"

I'm mostly self-taught. I didn't learn much in school.

Thinking has an understructure and underpinnings.

I wish I didn't have daily problems to deal with, so that I could just concentrate on learning more, every single day.

One thing that's paramount in my life is that I am alone. I'm a loner. And yet I have many friends and I don't feel lonely. And I even like my own company. But when I'm alone, it's to read or write. I'm in my thoughts. Mostly I'm learning.
