I didn't get paid for performances most of my life. If I did, I would be billionaire now, and I'm not.

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

I hate studio. For me, studio is a trap to overproduce and repeat yourself. It is a habit that leads to art pollution.

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 used to cleaning the outside house, but the most important house to clean is yourself - your own house - which we never do.
