Jasper Johns Believe Quotations

Working is very important to me. Probably because as a child I was taught that work was good. I don't believe it intellectually but I identify with that idea. So it's probably just like a habit.

My work is largely concerned with relations between seeing and knowing, seeing and saying, seeing and believing.

The thing is, if you believe in the unconscious - and I do - there's room for all kinds of possibilities that I don't know how you prove one way or another.
