In my case, I used the elements of these simple forms - square, cube, line and color - to produce logical systems. Most of these systems were finite; that is, they were complete using all possible variations. This kept them simple.

The other great development has been in photography, but that too was influenced by Conceptual art.

A blind man can make art if what is in his mind can be passed to another mind in some tangible form.

When artists make art, they shouldn't question whether it is permissible to do one thing or another.

I didn't want to save art - I respected the older artists too much to think art needed saving. But I knew it was finished, even though, at that time, I didn't know what I would do.

The artist is seen like a producer of commodities, like a factory that turns our refrigerators.

Unless you're involved with thinking about what you're doing, you end up doing the same thing over and over, and that becomes tedious and, in the end, defeating.

I believe that the artist's involvement in the capitalist structure is disadvantageous to the artist and forces him to produce objects in order to live.

In my case, I used the elements of these simple forms - square, cube, line and color - to produce logical systems. Most of these systems were finite; that is, they were complete using all possible variations. This kept them simple.

Minimal art went nowhere.

Artists teach critics what to think. Critics repeat what the artists teach them.

The system is the work of art; the visual work of art is the proof of the System. The visual aspect can't be understood without understanding the system. It isn't what it looks like but what it is that is of basic importance.

Buying books was a way anyone could acquire a work of art for very little.

The thinking of John Cage derived from Duchamp and Dada. I was not interested in that.

All of the significant art of today stems from Conceptual art. This includes the art of installation, political, feminist and socially directed art.

Conceptual art became the liberating idea that gave the art of the next 40 years its real impetus.

Just as the development of earth art and installation art stemmed from the idea of taking art out of the galleries, the basis of my involvement with public art is a continuation of wall drawings.

Every generation renews itself in its own way; there's always a reaction against whatever is standard.

Minimalism wasn't a real idea - it ended before it started.

The narrative of serial art works more like music than like literature.

You shouldn't be a prisoner of your own ideas.

During the '70s I was interested in words and meaning as a way of making art.

I became interested in making books, starting about 1965, when I did the Serial Project #1, deciding that I needed a small book to show how the work could be understood and how the system worked.

Also, since art is a vehicle for the transmission of ideas through form, the reproduction of the form only reinforces the concept. It is the idea that is being reproduced. Anyone who understands the work of art owns it. We all own the Mona Lisa.

I was not interested in irony; I wanted to emphasize the primacy of the idea in making art.

Artists of many diverse types began using simple forms to their own ends.

An action film can have too much action; picture an equaliser on a stereo, with all the knobs pegged at 10. It becomes a cacophony and is, ultimately, quite boring.

The 'serial kisser' tag that has been thrust on to me is a lame stereotype. It irritates me. Yes, there is sexual content in my movies, and I have never been apologetic about doing bold scenes. But it's not fair to tag me this way because that can be very stifling.

When I'm on Faro, I'm never lonely.

I try to mix it up! I do a little Pilates. I do a little Cardio Barre; sometimes I run or do the stairs.

The Israeli media are very important to me. I've been part of them and they a part of me all my adult life.

I listen to 'deep dish house'.

Through all of living have much joy and laughter, life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.

I love playing football, being out on the pitch with a ball, and I will be a little sad when that ends.

The mountains are calling and I must go.

You'll never see the president carry his own luggage, and why? Because even though we know he has luggage, it would reduce his stature if he was too much like us. We need to think of our leaders as being above us, even though they must still relate to us.

It is really funny to see people that you know acting unpleasantly just because there are TV cameras on.

The so-called second New Deal of 1935 - including the Works Progress Administration, Social Security and the Wagner Act legalizing union labor - represented an effort to meet the rising voices demanding a more aggressive government approach to the collapse of national prosperity.

Neglect will banish love, kill a lie, and silence slander; yet it will feed a malady, nourish hatred, and fill a garden with weeds.

If I'd had some set idea of a finish line, don't you think I would have crossed it years ago?

Our past is like a footprint. It only confirms we were there. No burden on our future does it bear. Bring the rain, clear the pane of clutter.

Any of us who've been newspapermen for a long time hate generalizations.

In fact when you combine stem cell technology with the technology known as tissue engineering you can actually grow up entire organs, so as you suggest that sometime in the future you get in an auto accident and lose your kidney, we'd simply take a few skin cells and grow you up a new kidney. In fact this has already been done.

We must begin to shift the emphasis of teen-age pregnancy to teen-age boys.

You always see people coming back to the sport, and I've always thought, 'Gosh, when you're done playing, wouldn't you just want to stay at home?'

The two important things I did learn were that you are as powerful and strong as you allow yourself to be, and that the most difficult part of any endeavor is taking the first step, making the first decision.

'Encore' was an experiment. 'Encore' was the second chance at a first impression. 'Encore' was not completely planned.

Revolution is born as a social entity within the oppressor society.

I've had some very strong female role models, so I think that's an important thing.
