Junk is not, like alcohol or weed, a means to increased enjoyment of life. Junk is not a kick. It is a way of life.

If I knew how much you loved me, I would’ve shot you sooner.

I meant that people will take anything that gives them a lift, whether it's alcohol or cocaine or the consciousness-expanding drugs or opiates. In Iran, until recently, they sold opium in shops legally, and they had 3,000,000 addicts in a population of 15,000,000. I don't believe that all those people were escaping from "complexes" or anything of the sort. They were simply exposed to it.

I see painting as an evocative magic, and there must always be a random factor in magic, one which must be constantly changed and renewed.

Who was I? The stranger was footsteps in the snow a long time ago.

If you consider any set of data without a preconceived viewpoint, then a viewpoint will emerge from the data.

If after having been exposed to someone's presence you feel as if you've lost a quart of plasma, avoid that presence. You need it like you need pernicious anemia.
