My influences were from Europe from between 1900 and 1945. My favorite artists were Egon Schiele or Edvard Munch. I wasn't interested in contemporary art at all.

It's my memory, and what happened between that moment 10 or 15 years ago and now, there's a lot of gray area

If I were really, truly in love with someone who was truly in love with me, then I would get married, but that would be the only reason I'd get married.

The soul will always do what it needs to do.

For me, being an artist with a high profile is a good thing for art.

Strolling on the plateau of life, desperate for the mountain, I never thought that I would get this far. It's only art that has carried me through, given me faith in my own existence. But now I am approaching a point in my life where I desire more.
