For a true artist, difficulties become opportunities and clouds become solid present.

Failure doesn't mean anything, it just means changing paths.

Art gives to you a new conception of reality, opens your mind, opens your heart, opens your desire of action.

I don't regret any past. I am not there. I am not sorry not to make pictures, because I know one day I will do it. I intend to live 150 years.

Five cats and a woman. That is all I need in life.

I don't see myself as a movie maker only. When I can do a picture, I do. But I don't work like a business, in pictures. I am not obliged to make one picture after the other in order to live. I write books, I write for comic books, I give lectures... I live. And when the opportunity comes to do a picture, I do a picture.

One day, someone showed me a glass of water that was half full. And he said, "Is it half full or half empty?" So I drank the water. No more problem.
