I like the idea of defying the convention of what it is to be in your 40s, or 50s, or 60s.

Honestly, I'm really just a teddy bear.

My work was done, so it was time to start digging my grave again.

Why should we think nudity is such a revolting thing in a land where there is so much violence and corruption and racism and hatred? Nudity seems like a welcome relief from all the bullshit in life.

I think art is inherently nonviolent and it actually occupies your mind with creation rather than destruction.

In terms of having high hopes that the level of consciousness will get higher and higher, yeah.

What doesn't kill you only makes your book longer.
