Why not do something strange and different for once? Artists can do whatever they want!

I have a problem with being a hero, but that's another problem.

You go to India and you see the poorest village somewhere in the middle of India. And the poor family is happier than any rich billionaire in this country because of spirituality.

You know how you feel somebody looking at you, and you turn, and somebody actually is? It's the same at an art gallery. You're looking at one portrait, turn around, and there is a work of art directly behind you. Because it's all energy. Every single thing has energy.

I have found that long durational art is really the key to changing consciousness. On such a deep level. Not just the performer, but the one looking at it.

To me the pain and the blood are merely means of artistic expression.

Television is completely another medium. For me, Lady Gaga and HBO are bringing us to mass culture.
