In the end, as you get older and older, your life is your life, and you are alone with it.

Another thing about creation is that every day it is like it gave birth, and it's always kind of innocent and refreshing. So it's always virginal to me, and it's always a surprise.

I never feel age... If you have creative work you don't have age or time.

I've been so lonely for long periods of my life that if a rat walked in I would have welcomed it.

I don’t demand that all work be a masterpiece. What I am doing is the right thing for me - that is what I am and this is living. It reflects me and I reflect it.

I only know this - that you can’t give advice to an artist.

It is as hard to take success as it is failure.
