It's true, of course, humor is very important in my life, as you know. That's the only reason for living, in fact.

In my day artists wanted to be outcasts, pariahs. Now they are all integrated into society

Destruction is also creation.

I have drawn people's attention to the fact that art is a mirage. A mirage, just like the oasis that appears in the desert. It is very beautiful, until the moment when you die of thirst, obviously. But we do not die of thirst in the field of art. The mirage has substance.

My idea was to chose an object that wouldn't attract me, either by its beauty or by its ugliness. To find a point of indifference in my looking at it, you see

The most interesting thing about artists is how they live

There is no solution, for there is no problem.
