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

I always had the fear of being separated and abandoned. The sewing is my attempt to keep things together and make things whole.

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.

The twentieth-century artist who uses symbols is alienated because the system of symbols is a private one. After you have dealt with the symbols you are still private, you are still lonely, because you are not sure anyone will understand it except yourself. The ransom of privacy is that you are alone.

Every day you have to abandon your past or accept it and then, if you cannot accept it, you become a sculptor.

Art is manipulation without intervention.
