I do not deny that I have made drawings and watercolors of an erotic nature. But they are always works of art. Are there no artists who have done erotic pictures?

I must see new things and investigate them. I want to taste dark water and see crackling trees and wild winds.

No erotic work of art is filth if it is artistically significant; it is only turned into filth through the beholder if he is filthy.

Art cannot be modern. Art is primordially eternal.

To restrict the artist is a crime. It is to murder germinating life

Bodies have their own light which they consume to live: they burn, they are not lit from the outside.

Everything is dead while it lives.

I believe in the immortality of all creatures.

I shall go so far that people will be seized with terror at the sight of each of my works of 'living' art.

I must live in my own excrement, breathe in my own poisonous sticky fumes. Yet I am a human being! I still am. Does no one think of that?

My mother is a very strange woman... She doesn't understand me in the least and doesn't love me much either. If she had either love or understanding she would be prepared to make sacrifices

The adult who is constantly changing friends and changing mates is immature. He/she cannot stick it out because he/she has not grown up.

I don't read fiction at all.

There's a great place to go when you're broke--to work!

When I'm in the Switzerland backcountry and nobody around looks like me, people were like, 'Can I touch your hair?'

Not to climb the high places lonely, but to climb there all together, to rise en masse! This is the way!

Any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.

When Im not training day in and day out I love to go out and dance, even though it is potentially in my contract that Im not allowed to do that.

I was an okay singer. I was an okay dancer. But acting? Never could do it.

We do not trade territories although concluding a peace treaty with Japan is certainly a key issue and we would like to find a solution to this problem together with our Japanese friends.

The art of our necessities is strange That can make vile things precious.
