• You can't participate in agriculture or redesign of aircraft for making them safer if you know nothing about it.  So, whenever a person says 'will I be participating in the new world?'  Only in areas that you can participate it.  Areas that you have competence in. I'm not talking about self confidence, I'm talking about the ability to solve problems.  Electrical, chemical, technical.  I don't know of any other kind of problem.

• At the opening of our exhibition at Deitch Projects in New York we featured a wall of 10,000 bananas. Green bananas created a pattern against a background of yellow bananas spelling out the sentiment: Self-confidence produces fine results. After a number of days the green bananas turned yellow too and the type disappeared. When the yellow background bananas turned brown, the type (and the self-confidence) appeared again, only to go away when all bananas turned brown.
