If I'm reading something and a word pops up, or I just catch it, I try to mark it off and then, later, write it down on a piece of paper and add it to my list.

I like contrasting between black and white and color.

I know where the mistakes are. Nothing is perfect and I understand that.

I try not to manipulate reality... What will happen, will happen. Let things be themselves.

I like the work hanging free in the frame. I don't like too much frame around it but I like a little breathing space around the piece.

I deeply care about what the fans think.

Language is an anonymous, collective and unconscious art; the result of the creativity of thousands of generations.

Weariness is the shortest path to equality and fraternity-and finally liberty is bestowed by sleep.
