I never drove a car in my life. Given my drinking habits in those days, I would have been dead a long time ago - stumbling out of a bar at 4 a.m. and getting into a car.

The girls you picked up from the bars were not the girls you took home to mother.

I didn't like men, but I liked women.

Carl Andre 03.03.2018 03:03:03 67 quotes

I didn't like men because they...

I didn't like men because they were so physically competitive. Men are always making a pecking order. 'I can beat you up and you can beat him up ...'

Carl Andre 03.03.2018 03:03:03 67 quotes

You can always find somebody t...

You can always find somebody to beat up. This goes back to the schoolyard. Most men would think, Don't chum with girls. But I chummed with girls.

Carl Andre 03.03.2018 03:03:03 67 quotes

I think it was Henry Moore who was asked where he got his ideas for his sculptures, and he said something like, 'I continue to do as an adult the things I did as a child.' I think that's what art is about.

Artists tend to be beyond embarrassment the way little children tend to be beyond embarrassment.

New York is dead. It's too expensive.

When I came to New York, it was cheap!

I had no place to put anything. I would give my sculpture away because I had no place to put it.

Isn't it wonderful to be an artist whose works have mostly been lost?

Carl Andre 03.03.2018 03:03:03 67 quotes

What do little kids do? They crawl on the floor and they build with blocks. I just continued to do that for the rest of my life.

Carl Andre 03.03.2018 03:03:03 67 quotes

I never stopped doing what I did as a child.

Americans understand better than the Europeans and the English that any publicity is good.

I was never good at painting. ...

I was never good at painting. The great turning point came when I had a block of wood and I carved a shape into the wood and put a small piece of timber into that space - like a negative - and so it made an endless column, only inward.

Carl Andre 03.03.2018 03:03:03 67 quotes

Why carve? It's a better sculp...

Why carve? It's a better sculpture that way. I'll never improve the block. So I just started using uncarved blocks.

Carl Andre 03.03.2018 03:03:03 67 quotes

Once you turn something into something, its universal usage is over.

Carl Andre 03.03.2018 03:03:03 67 quotes

My works have always been unjo...

My works have always been unjoined. People were always making variations of my works, and I just said, 'I don't want to know.' You can't put limits on those pieces. You can't be there all of the time when they're installed.

Carl Andre 03.03.2018 03:03:03 67 quotes

If you forge a Carl Andre, it'...

If you forge a Carl Andre, it's just another Carl Andre. It's not like a Vermeer.

Carl Andre 03.03.2018 03:03:03 67 quotes

What I made depended on what I found on the street. At least in the beginning, my materials came from the street.
