I am a lonely runner, but I am a long-distance runner.

Artists are born not made. There's nothing you can do for them.

The spider is an animal who eats mosquitoes. That's why I love the spider - it is the only way we have to deal with these insects.

Art is a way of recognizing oneself.

My work has to do with a defense against fervor. People are always in a rush. To do what? To do nothing! There is a kind of fervor that is completely meaningless. This drawing is a call for meditation.... I am an insomniac, so for me the state of being asleep is paradise. It is a paradise I can never reach. But I still try to conquer the insomnia, and to a large extent I have done it; it is conquerable. My drawings are a kind of rocking or stroking and an attempt at finding peace. Peaceful rhythm. Like rocking a baby to sleep.

Everyone should have the right to marry. To make a commitment to love someone forever is a beautiful thing.

I dont watch TV. I dont use a computer, a fax or a cellphone.
