When I went to college, I wasn't interested in fashion anymore - I was interested in art.
I just really wanted to do art, except when I was taking those photographs of people I would make the clothes that I would photograph them in so I could control the whole thing.
Then I moved down to the Bowery to this building where Debbie Harry lived. It was there that I started combining some clothes for her and continued doing the art and photography.
Maybe if they all could he combined - art, rock and fashion. Those were always my favorite things.
An artist cannot be responsible for what people make of their art. An audience loathe giving up preconceived images of an artist.
Once you decide that it is the art that is important and not how popular and well received you are, you no longer have an albatross.
The only albatross is the hurt you divine from what people say about your art.
When you build a product, you make a lot of assumptions about the state of the art of technology, the best business practices, and potential customer usage/behavior.

The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art - and, by analogy, our own experience - more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than ...
In the final analysis, style is art. And art is nothing more or less than various modes of stylized, dehumanized representation.
I was very much into buying contemporary art, but I've just decided I want to get rid of it all. Not that it's not great art, but all of a sudden my mood has changed, and I want to go back to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century masters.
Suddenly I've got an overwhelming desire to surround myself with the aura of classical and Romantic art.
I wanted to become an artist because it meant endless possibilities. Art was a way of reinventing myself.
At school, I always felt the art room was the place where you could sit and talk. It was a place of solace. I wasn't the best artist at school by a long shot; it was more the understanding and the support that came from that room.
I went to Goldsmith College of Art in London in the '80s and there I made sculptures, but the objects had nothing to do with how I was thinking. I was making beautifully sanded wooden boxes!
