I passed blindly many things which belong to real and political life.

I am seeking for the bridge which leans from the visible to the invisible through reality.

Art is creative for the sake of realization, not for amusement... for transfiguration, not for the sake of play.

It is the nature, and the advantage, of strong people that they can raise the crucial questions and form a clear opinion about them.

If someone had told me, don't say anything about Lillian Hellman because she'll sue you, it wouldn't have stopped me. It might have spurred me on.

Maybe in the future I'll put out someone's one-off project, but generally I don't have time.

Somewhere on this planet is your best friend. Find that person.
