I grew up in a forest. It's like a room. It's protected. Like a cathedral... it is a place between heaven and earth.

I was interested in transcendence from a very early age. I was interested in what was over there, what was behind life. So when I had my first communion I was very disappointed. I had expected something amazing and surprising and spiritual. Instead all I got was a bicycle. That wasn't what I was after at all.

I am of the opinion that there are artists and non-artists. I think that this is the way it always was and always will be. I do not believe that we are in the center of the world. It is possible that there are gods who do not relate to human. As an artist, I believe that it is possible to depict these forces.

When I see a new artist I give myself a lot of time to reflect and decide whether it's art or not.

Not content, but the road the artist takes, is the interesting part.

I am against the idea of the end, that everything culminates in paradise or judgment.

I believe art has to take responsibility but it should not give up being art.
