"Ketika saya pertama kali datang ke New York, di tahun 70-an, seniman tentu saja terbagi tentang persona Andy Warhol, dan tentang karya itu. Saya pikir itu benar-benar keren - saya pikir Factory benar-benar glamor - tetapi ada banyak seniman yang saya kagumi dan hormati yang lebih tua seperti itu menolaknya, tidak bisa mendapatkannya, dan merasa ada kekurangan keseriusan tentang hal itu."

When I first came to New York, in the '70s, artists were certainly divided about the Andy Warhol persona, and about the work. I thought it was utterly cool - I thought the Factory was utterly glamorous - but there were a lot of artists I really admired and respected who were older that kind of dismissed it, couldn't get it, and felt that there was a lack of seriousness about it.
