I like to go somewhere where I learn something I didn't know before, like the Dry Tortugas between Florida and Cuba.

how can the world in all its chaos come up with so many coincidences, so many similarities and exact opposites?

How do I create something out of nothing? And how do I create my own life? I think it is by questioning, and saying to myself that there are no absolute truths.

That was a wonderful period in my life. I mean, I didn't become an artist, but somebody let me do something I loved. What a luxury, to do something you love to do.
