In my case, the body of work stands for itself... I think my work has been representative of me as a man.

So much of life, it seems to me, is determined by pure randomness.

I wanted to explore the values that are at work, underpinning my life.

In America, it is difficult to be your own man.

I defend myself by improving myself.

I always wanted to be someone better the next day than I was the day before.

I had to satisfy the action fans, the romantic fans, the intellectual fans. It was a terrific burden.
