Artists should never think of themselves as an idol. Fame is a side effect of one's work.

I had such an intense relationship to every person. I still see people on the street and we lock eyes, and say "Oh my god!" and we just kiss and stay like that and sometimes cry.

We, performers, work on willpower. This willpower works in a short term, not durational.

There are so many rules in the art world. I don't like rules and I break them all the time. I don't care if people think I'm overexposed. What I care about is if I'm going to run out of energy. Overexposure is only a problem if you are drained of energy and cannot come up with new ideas. Every artist has to recognize that and know when to stop for a moment.

Don't even ask me why. I do not know, I have no answer to this insane behaviour.

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.

I believe that life is shorter; that is why we have to make experience longer.
