What all of us artists are doing is using our pain as material to create our work.

Not being appreciated for 40 years or something ... It feels like I was accused of something that I didn't do, which was breaking up the Beatles. That was like being somebody who is in prison without having done anything wrong.

Loneliness is equal to the radius of one's awareness.

Women artists are still treated differently from men.

When you're imagining peace, you can't kill anyone. That's good isn't it?

Hide until everybody goes home. Hide until everybody forgets about you. Hide until everybody dies.

Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken. A stick becomes a flute when it's loved.
