I am a socialist, so I am not worried about socialism. I am worried about dictators who are putting everyone into a socialist state for their own benefit.

One gets wrapped up in reacting to ones own reputation, which can be a kind of trap.

One of the first issues I dealt with was the struggle to find a language, to find my own words.

I never give too much thought to the idea of universality.

For me, when I have the opportunity to exhibit abroad, I feel that the public understands some points I have raised and are open-minded and make an effort to understand my work, but there are still certain things that remain inaccessible.

My starting point was the search for my identity in foreign places, in places where I am estranged from myself.

When I visit new places, I like to see the markets.
