„Well, this man [the T. V. interviewer of Jasper Johns, ] wanted to know why I stopped painting [the so-called famous ‘Silence of Duchamp’]…. and he had said [it was] because of dealers and money and various reasons. Largely moralistic reasons…. But you know; it wasn’t like that. It’s like you break a leg; you don’t mean to do it.“

— Marcel Duchamp

„I made a metamorphose, I'm a new person today, because I used to strongly and honestly, honestly! I feel like I can represent my generation so much because I honestly did not care whether I lived or died. But now I can not die, with people thinking I'm a rapist or a criminal, I can not leave until this shit is straight, you know I'm not suicidal. I can't go until ya'll really know what time it is. And then after that, BOOM!, It's all over and we can see how this shit fall, but that's how it is, and the reason being is because if I can't live free, if I can't live with the same respect as the next man, I don't wanna be here, because god has cursed me to see what life should be like, If God wanted me to be this person and be happy here, he wouldn't let me feel so oppressed, he wouldn't let me feel so trampled on, you know what I'm saying, he wouldn't let me think the things I think. So I feel I'm doing Gods work, you know what I'm saying just because I don't have nothing to pass around for people to put money in a bucket don't mean I ain't doing God's work.“

„Why do you paint?For exactly the same reason I breathe.That’s not an answer.There isn’t any answer.How long hasn’t there been any answer?As long as I can remember.And how long have you written?As long as I can remember.I mean poetry.So do I.“
