I have always hated flying. I mainly pass the time writing letters. I am very old school and I still keep many correspondences the old-fashioned way, via post.

When it comes to performance art, I am more interested in the failures then the so-called successes. I have never cared for entertaining anyone.

My performances may have elements that some may find entertaining, but that's not my main purpose.

The best performance advice I have ever been given was to "Know where your light is, onstage."

We can't allow any war for imperialism or greed to be fought in our names. This is what we need to keep fighting for.

I believe in talking behind peoples' backs. That way, they hear it more than once.

If there were just one gift you could choose, but nothing barred, what would it be? We wish you then your own wish; you name it. Ours is liberty, now and forever.

Advertising is just a symptom, a tactic. Marketing is about far more than that.

When my Azzedine jacket from 1987 died, I wrapped it up in a box, attached a note saying where it came from and took it to the Salvation Army. It was a big loss.

Even the relatively small amount of trans fats are likely to be causing around 7,000 premature deaths from heart disease per year.
