When I look at a drawing of a person, I look at that person as living.

I first think of intelligence. You need it for surviving in Italy because Italy is so pompous.

In India and in New York the economy is naked. People are starving physically in India, and emotionally in New York.

We are not naturally intelligent, or happy. In fact, every day it is harder to remain intelligent. It seems often that people get intelligent through pain, but you can't be sure because nobody really can say, "I've been suffering".

When I look at a drawing of a person, I look at that person as living.

Painting is like making love. You cannot ask, 'How do you do it?' But, hopefully, it is beautiful.

Fashion is the pursuit of perfection, Style is the acceptance of one's flaws.
