Ive developed into quite a swan. Im one of those people that will probably look better and better as I get older until I drop dead of beauty. – Rufus Wainwright
I love Rauschenberg. I love that he created a turning point in visual history, that he redefined the idea of beauty, that he combined painting, sculpture, photography, and everyday life with such gall, and that he was interested in, as he put it, the ability to conceive failure as progress. – Jerry Saltz
