The greatest danger for artists is total freedom.

Even the most miserable life is better than a sheltered existence in an organized society where everything is calculated and perfected.

All art is autobiographical.

I don't believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there's one thing that's dangerous for an artist, it's precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it.

You exist only in what you do.

A different language is a different vision of life.

Hype is the awkward and desperate attempt to convince journalists that what you've made is worth the misery of having to review it.
