I've making videos since I was seventeen I was originally discollecting vintage hmmm... footages from different archives and setting moving pictures to classical music clips that meant a lot to me. Maybe there were places I have been where nice things have happened. I had a vision of making my life a work of art and I was looking for people who also felt that way.

I wish I could escape into some alter-ego, just so I could feel more comfortable onstage.

New York's architecture alone is enough to inspire a whole album. In fact, that's what happened at first - my early stuff was mostly just interpretations of landscapes.

A lot of what's been written about me is not true: of my family history or my choices or my interests. Actually, I've never read anything written about me that was true. It's been completely crazy.

Life is beautiful, but you don't have a clue.

They judge me like a picture book, by the colors, like they forgot to read.

The world needs poetry now more than ever. It's the only thing that can keep music from copying itself and sounding the same.
