I had my freedom and that was nice.

And we who have always thought of happiness climbing, would feel the emotion that almost startles when happiness falls.

I listed to Tchaikovsky. He is both kitsch and profound. I love that lack of "Good taste."

I never really separated painting and literature.

I work in waves, because I'm impatient. Because of a certain physicality, of lack of breath from standing. It has to be done and I do take liberties I wouldn't have taken before.

When I work, I work very fast, but preparing to work can take any length of time.

Every line is the actual experience with its own unique story.
