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

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

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?

In an age in which the classic words of the Surrealists— 'As beautiful as the unexpected meeting, on a dissecting table, of a sewing machine and an umbrella'—can become reality and perfectly achievable with an atom bomb, so too has there been a surge of interest in biomechanoids

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

The creature we finally ended up building is biomechanical to the extent that he has physically grown into, or maybe even out of, his seat, - he's integrated totally into the function he performs.

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