I don't care about the word art  

- [Joan Bakewell] What you were also attempting to do, as I understand it, was devalue the art as an object simply by saying, 'if I say it's a work of art, that makes it a work of art.'

- [Marcel Duchamp] Yeah, but the word work of art, you see, is not so important for me ... I don't care about the word art because it's been so ... you know, discredited, and so forth.

- [Joan Bakewell] But you in fact contributed to the discrediting, didn't you, quite deliberately?

- [Marcel Duchamp] Yeah ... deliberately yes. So I very want to get rid of it because the way, many people today have done away with religion." --Marcel Duchamp interviewed by Joan Bakewell on Late Night Line-Up on 5 June 1968
