As with jazz, every performance is new and fresh. When it's in a museum setting, it automatically gives it a new context.

Thompson was involved in the world of jazz. Jazz musicians were interested in his work, and he in theirs.

That automatically gives it a seedy connotation. That's not what we are.

When you come out, they automatically want to say what you are and compare you to somebody. They want to give title immediately rather than waiting to see what a person's about.

It gives you a sick feeling in your stomach to go through the museum - to go from one part to another and to read some of the stories. It's unbelievable that man could do this to another man, and to thousands and thousands of people ... it's beyond words to describe some of the things that you hear and see in here.

Performance art can be produced in a coffee house setting.
