For me, love must be ugly, looks must be divine, and death must be beautiful.

To be interesting, one has to provoke.

Right now I'm the greatest. I don't say this through vanity. It's just that the rest are so bad.

It is either easy or impossible.

The daily life of a genius, his sleep, his digestion, he ecstasies, his nails, his colds, his blood, his life and death are essentially different from the rest of mankind.

I tried sex once with a woman and that woman was Gala. It was overrated. I tried sex once with a man and that man was the famous juggler Federico Garcia Lorca [the Spanish Surrealist poet]. It was very painful.

Give me two hours a day of activity, and I'll take the other twenty-two in dreams.
