In the performer's body, you don't care how you look. It doesn't matter if you're old, fat, beautiful, or ugly. It doesn't change anything. The only thing is your charisma and how you express your idea.

True love for whatever you are doing is the answer to everything.

You know the movie "Rashomon" from [Takeshi] Kurosawa, when all the people in the forest see something different? Each performance was like that.

There's nothing more tragic than artists from the 70s still doing art from the 70s.

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.

For me, the most difficult piece is the one I'm about to make.

An artist has to look at the future, to see what we can do better.
