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

To wear something like that your whole life is the largest compliment someone can pay to you as an artist.

Some people would say my paintings show a future world and maybe they do, but I paint from reality. I put several things and ideas together, and perhaps, when I have finished, it could show the future.

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

My paintings seem to make the strongest impression on people who are, well, who are crazy.

You know I was curious - I was interested in all kinds of mystery or deeper meanings in the paintings because I myself have not analyzed why they have turned out like this or like that.

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?
