"The purpose of art is higher than art. What we are really interested in are masterpieces of humanity."
"The artistic path is a fearless occupation."
"The world loves a clone and a good knock-off. It cheats the artist... In the obsession for technical wizardry, people disappear; and if your voice isn't present in a relationship, you don't matter."
"What’s interesting about you is you."
