It's the procedures in and for themselves that interest me. The picture isn't really necessary.

Mostly, drawings are things I make for myself - I do them in sketchbooks. They are mental experiments - private inner thoughts when I'm not sure what will come out.

What interests me is the unforeseeable.

I don't see a big difference between painting and photography. Moreover, such distinctions mean nothing to me.

Yes, my works... are enshrined in museums, but I don't care if the pieces fall apart in 20 years.

I’m a believer in luck and think the social conditions you’re born into provide the opportunity for you to prove your luck. And I suppose I’ve been lucky.

Impossible to spend sleepless nights and accomplish anything: if, in my youth, my parents had not financed my insomnias, I should surely have killed myself.

That's why we began calling it the daily soap opera, or it's just the place on radio and TV where Democrat Party agenda is advanced. But it isn't media.

I've assimilated the hit. I've passed along most of what I can and now I'm prepared to live with it. But in my opinion, prices will come down.
