Every party is the same, too many people, too little food, and you have to wait around. I'm extremely bored with parties.

The world doesn't need an artist who shows reality as it is

That's something that I'm trying to do in my work, to send a message to western people. They're the ones who are completely disconnected.

In every ancient culture, there are rituals to mortify the body as a way of understanding that the energy of the soul is indestructible.

From the moment you are born, you could die. I think as an artist it is important to meditate on that.

The complete absence of the story - that was the best thing about this whole thing, because you know that nothing's going to happen and everything's going to happen. It's just the gaze. You create your own zone.

Galás is a great artist with a very powerful voice.
