I'm never content with what I do. I live in a sort of permanent dissatisfaction. I think that's the secret to doing things well.

Why should I stop working? If I do, I'll die and it'll all be finished. 'm lucky to work in the most perfect of conditions. I can do what I want in all kinds of areas. The expenses are not expenses. I would be stupid to stop that. Work is making a living out of being bored.

Luxury is the income tax of vanity. But it is so pleasant.

Things have to be beautifully made, even if they are full of fun, fantasy and futility
