I like elegance. I like art nouveau; a stretched line or curve. These things are very much in the foreground of my work.

There is hope and a kind of beauty in there somewhere, if you look for it.

You get talent when you discover the ground of your pain.

When the mouth is closed it looks very voluptuous, beautiful. But when it opens its jaws the tongue inside the mouth is more like a spear... also very suggestive... which penetrates the head with greater velocity, snagging bits of brain. From Beauty to the Beast.

You know, it was just another presentation of my work, and a funny one, because the cards are quite different from the normal Tarot deck, no?

A good many people think as I do. If they like my work they are creative . . . or they are crazy.

The more famous I get, the more I am tolerated, albeit with some head-shaking.
