Tape the sound of the moon fading at dawn. Give it to your mother to listen to when she's in sorrow.

I think if you give in and accept society's stereotypes, then you start thinking, 'I cannot dance till late at night because I'm 70.'

There is an incredible love in creating art unless somebody is saying, 'Hey, let's just make money,' because it doesn't work when you do it that way. If you are aiming for that, forget it.

Long, long time ago, I declared that all my works are a form of a prayer/a wish.

Try to say nothing negative about anybody for three days, for forty-five days, for three months. See what happens to your life.

The nice thing about the gallery shows is that without having to pay any money you can just go and see it.
