“I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it. At the moment if I did certain things people would look at it, consider it and then say "f off". But after a while you can get away with things.”

“Patti, did art get us?'
I looked away, not really wanting to think about it. 'I don't know, Robert. I don't know.'
Perhaps it did, but no one could regret that. Only a fool would regret being had by art; or a saint.”

“I did it to get what I want. Maybe I should regret that, but I can’t. Sometimes you do the bad thing and hope for the good result.”

“Art is what you can get away with.”

“Art is whatever you can get away with.”

“I’m not always really calm, but I try not to get taken away by things that are incredibly transitory.”

“I'd make people say 'use Fork;' if I thought I could get away with it.”

“Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. Getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place.”

“Don't wish it away,
Don't look at it like it's forever.
Between you and me I could honestly say
That things can only get better.And while I'm away,
Dust out the demons inside.
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide.”

“You can get carried away with how things were once, and not how you need to make them better.”
