Sculpture is something you bump into when you back up to look at a painting.

If some student came up and wanted to know where to study painting, you'd want to suggest someplace, but there's no place. I wouldn't know where to send a student to study.

I taught a lot of art history, especially Chinese, Japanese, and Indian. But the painting classes came back. The nudes came back. Not so much the still lifes. So now our department is the worst department, partly because it has the worst facilities.

When you fall, get right back up.

They look at me and I kind of back up in case they go for my throat.

I failed, got back up. I failed, got back up.
