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

Life is an illusion. I am held together in the nothingness by art.

Art maybe the only space where an indvidual can be utterly free to question himself, as well as his relationship to his God

As a child I had no toys; our house was bombed, but there were lots of bricks. Ruins are wonderful because they are the beginning of something new, you can do something with them.

Buying art is not understanding art.

As an artist you have to find something that deeply interests you. It's not enough to make art that is about art, to look at Matisse and Picasso and say, how can I paint like them? You have to be obsessed by something that can't come out in any other way, then the other things - the skill and technique - will follow.
