Capital punishment in my view achieved nothing except revenge.

All the men and women whom I have faced at that final moment, convince me that in what I have done, I have not prevented a single murder.

Pampered content is a public resignation of artistic integrity.

I am drawn to women who are independent and creative, which is problematic because it's a struggle, a competition of careers. There's jealousy.

I don't think really conservative or liberal; I think what makes sense.

Some counterfeits reproduce so very well the truth that it would be a flaw of judgment not to be deceived by them.

The ingenuity of self-deception is inexhaustible.

Should I eat this or should I eat this? Well, I'll have to eat both!

Nothing is lost and nothing is created in the operations of art as those of nature.

The workers and peasants must, as quickly as possible, seize everything that was created by them over many centuries and use it for their own interests.

The important point is to not just follow your passion but something larger than yourself.
