Some children I have met are very beautiful. Some children are imbeciles, vulgar, terrible.

To give the best of yourself, to be ready to please is OK for a while. But people expect certain things from you, and you have to go beyond that and say, no.

When you live under the power of terror and segregation, you can't ever start a work of art.

Life has to flow. But if you start worrying about it, you block time.

I work more now because at this time of my life I am not disturbed from my aim by outside pressures such as family, passionate relationships, dealing with 'who am I?' - those complications when one is searching for one's self.

How can you say something's important if you don't first withdraw and feel how rich you've become? That way you can become really generous. Otherwise, what do you give?

It's just as idiotic to say there is no life after death as it is to say there is one.
