But I believe above all that I wanted to build the palace of my memory, because my memory is my only homeland.

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

Art is longing. You never arrive, but you keep going in the hope that you will.

The book, the idea of a book or the image of a book, is a symbol of learning, of transmitting knowledge.. I make my own books to find my way through the old stories.

If I do something that depresses, it's not because I'm depressed, but because political life and history is depressing.

Art really is something very difficult. It is difficult to make, and it is sometimes difficult for the viewer to understand. It is difficult to work out what is art and what is not art.

Ruins, for me, are the beginning. With the debris, you can construct new ideas. They are symbols of a beginning.
