We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that.

We don't see the banality, but we accept banality. We accept it as inevitable, and it's not.

In Tokyo, London or Los Angeles people go into McDonald's and the restaurants are identical and people are comfortable. It's unthreatening.

I attended a lecture by a gray-haired old man from Finland, who later I discovered was the architect Alvar Aalto. I was very moved. I wasn't interested in architecture, but it was a moving thing I've never forgotten.

The best advice I've received is to be yourself. The best artists do that.

Man, there's another freedom out there, and it comes from somewhere else, and that somewhere else is the place I'm interested in.

Time is just a blur for me. I don't know what - I don't even know where I am sometimes.
