At some point I simply get started with making something, regardless of whether it’s with a good idea, a bad idea or no idea. I just make something out of what is lying around. And precisely these things that arise out of speechlessness, out of despair, are often the most important ones. They lead to the core, to the question as to who I am and why I want to do anything at all.

--Bruce Nauman

"The object isn't to make art, it's to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable."
