I grew up in the heat of '70s postmodern fiction and post-Godard films, and there was this idea that what mattered was the theory or meta in art.
The art world is a very prissy little thing over in the corner, while the major cultural forces are being determined by techno science.
I do worry because it takes all types to make our culture, to make our art. We need it to be available to all.

Publishing is a business. Writing may be art, but publishing, when all is said and done, comes down to dollars.
Modesty: the gentle art of enhancing your charm by pretending not to be aware of it.
Nature is the most beautiful thing we have. It's better than art because it's from the creator.
Is art really the priesthood that demands the pure in heart who belong to it wholly?
I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.
90% of every art form is garbage - dance and stand-up, painting and music. Focus on the 10% that's good, suck it up, and drive on.

Somebody informed me recently that the key to every art, from writing to gardening to sculpture, is creativity. I beg to differ.
American art, like America, must wait and live a while longer.
The usefulness of science is sometimes exaggerated. You'd never talk about music being useful or art being useful.
The early giants of modern dance - Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Denis - barely left traces of their art.
I am interested in art as a means of living a life; not as a means of making a living.
I am an artisan. I only became an artist when people watch what I do. That is when it becomes art.
Don't avoid extremes, and don't choose any one extreme. Remain available to both the polarities - that is the art, the secret of balancing.
