on art:

The fine art world and the commercial art industry are both all about money. It's hard to say which is more contemptible: the fine art world with its double talk and pretensions to the cultural high ground, or the world of commercial art trying to sell to the largest market it can reach. A serious artist really shouldn't be involved in either of these worlds. It's best to be on the fringe of them.
