I don't know if you've noticed it. But Duchamp was magnificent.

But the whole idea of the transformation... mystery, transformation, and manipulations - those were the things that Marcel was a magician at. That's his magic.

When I was a young man, I was overly sensitive to things, and I found it difficult to eat when I was nervous.

What I am telling you is that Matta had a way of making you feel comfortable and that's probably why he had nine wives because he made them feel comfortable and then uncomfortable later.

In Duchamp you approach it with doubt, you're not sure you want to be there or should be there, want to be there is maybe even more important.

You know who you can know, and you know who you can like, and there are affinities that are expressed without ever having an explanation.

I just did what I did and I still am. It makes you unpopular, maybe for a lifetime, but I'd rather do that than be popular and doubt what I am.
