All my inspiration comes from life. That's how it never stops, in a way.

You should see ballerinas' feet. They don't have nails. You see beauty, but it's unbelievable pain - with a 40-year pension! That's it, and then life is really finished.

Woody Allen has a wonderful line: 'Today I'm a star. What will I be tomorrow? A black hole?' That's very important to know - that you have the moment, then you lose the moment. You have to see your chances, you have to take them, and you also have to see when you don't have chances to take.

Being an artist is not easy - I have always said that to the students I have taught over the years. It's a huge sacrifice.

We are actually living in a million parallel realities every single minute.

Most artists create foundations where they put their own work. Here I'm not putting my own work. I'm just creating the chambers.

We always project into the future or reflect in the past, but we are so little in the present.
