Gilbert and George (b, 1943 and 1942) - Spat On , 1996
"We don't have anything to say except with our pictures."
"We don't want to think. It's exhausting enough without that."
"We try not to have ideas, preferring accidents. To create, you must empty yourself of every artistic thought."
"We don't want to know what we're doing. It's much better not to know."
"A clergyman once said to us, 'Jealousy is a bad thing'. But I must confess that I am sometimes jealous of the artist because the artist is closer to creation."
