I can't let things go when it comes to stop painting. It has to be my way.

Thinking is sometimes too intense, so once I start feeling pain, if it is not too much pain, it eases my mind.

Of course, my painting outfit has to be the focus of the shoot to promote a designer, or if I wear my own it will inspire someone's next collection!

I never paid attention to Michael Jackson, but when he died, it was like an explosion in some strange way. This intensity was released, something really powerful. But how can I say that? I also like to keep a hidden force behind my work.

When you have a dream, you don't even want to tell yourself straight out that this is what you want. You try to hide it. I never told myself I wanted to be a tennis player. But being an artist, yes, this is what I wanted since I first sat down to draw or paint. I knew that . . . I had that vision.

Being honest in the spotlight is the worst idea . But I do like when artists are honest and are able to build a persona for the artwork with their honesty. That's really good.

I realized painting could look like a film, and a film like a painting.
