• "I make technology ridiculous."

• "I am a poor man from a poor country, so I have to be entertaining every second."

• "It is the historical necessity, if there is a historical necessity in history, that a new decade of electronic television should follow from the past decade of electronic music." (1965)

• "Without electricity, there can be no art." (ca. 1976)
