Robert Gober: "Setiap kali saya memberi ceramah tentang pekerjaan saya...

"Setiap kali saya memberi ceramah tentang pekerjaan saya, saya selalu ditanya siapa pengaruh saya. Bukan apa pengaruh saya, tetapi siapa .. Seolah-olah selokan, kesalahpahaman, ingatan, jenis kelamin, mimpi, dan buku-buku kurang penting daripada leluhur. Lagi pula, dalam hal pengaruh, pria yang merampokku di Tenth Street, atau anjing kesayanganku yang meninggal terlalu dini, sama seperti Giotto atau Diane Arbus."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Whenever I give a talk about my work I am invariably asked who my influences are. Not what my influences are, but who.. As if the gutter, misunderstandings, memories, sex, dreams, and books matter less than forebears do. After all, in terms of influences, it is as much the guy who mugged me on Tenth Street, or my beloved dog who passed away much too early, as it was Giotto or Diane Arbus.
