I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it, which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book. But the reality is that organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate. ↗

Citizen Kane is perhaps the one American talking picture that seems as fresh now as the day it opened. It may seem even fresher. ↗

It seems likely that many of the young who don't wait for others to call them artists, but simply announce that they are, don't have the patience to make art. ↗

There would seem to be a limit, even for an art preoccupied with boundaries and transgressions, beyond which a work reaches its breaking point and becomes an actual failure, a mere experimentation. ↗
