A lot of the images I use are already out there in the public or in the news. I just steal them or photograph them or repaint them, so they've already been talked about, already been consumed.

I feel like the biggest failure of humans is miscommunication. We can't communicate with each other-we can fight, we can kill, we can do those things well.

I'm really interested in the difference between selfishness and generosity. It confuses me to no end because sometimes it all just feels like pure indulgence on my part.

The night schedule is a crazy pit I fall into most of the time, but I do like it because the buzz of normal professionalism has gone away. Even though you're working, you feel like you're playing.

Language is the most beautiful and destructive thing because it allows you to express yourself, but it totally confuses everything.

There are so many different desires that make you execute an artwork.

A lot of people use a smiley face when they write letters. But it's this huge insane compulsion, like "I'm happy! I swear!" I'm not buying it. I don't believe them.

It's nice that I can go down the road of obsessing over this smiley-face bullshit so maybe I can get free from it and think about something else-it's so banal and yet so crazy!

I love language, and I love the failure of language.

Hide in the mirror. No one will look for you there.

I do not believe that a dream should necessarily be taken for reality, or reality for madness.

Unfortunately, pioneers will always pave the way with sacrifices.

I need to say what's in my heart, and you call it a style

Love may be a dream but marriage is a nightmare.

The participation in European elections was always not very exciting. People are very interested in European issues, but they don't see the person who is representing Europe.

My dad was a doctor and surgeon. He was the fifth generation of his family to become a doctor.

The past, with its pleasures, its rewards, its foolishness, its punishments, is there for each of us forever, and it should be.

Snow falling soundlessly in the middle of the night will always fill my heart with sweet clarity

Astonish me in the morning!
