Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible. I think it's in my basement... let me go upstairs and check.

All my works are games, serious game.

Simplicity and order are, if not the principal, then certainly the most important guidelines for human beings in general.

I came to the ... open gate of mathematics. From here, well-trodden paths lead in every direction, and since then I have often spent time there. Sometimes I think ... I have trodden all the paths ... and then I suddenly discover a new path and experience fresh delights.

I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough.

For me it remains an open question whether [this work] pertains to the realm of mathematics or to that of art.

My work is a game, a very serious game.
