I believe art has to take responsibility but it should not give up being art.

When I see a new artist I give myself a lot of time to reflect and decide whether it's art or not.

I believe in empty spaces; they're the most wonderful thing.

But I believe above all that I wanted to build the palace of my memory, because my memory is my only homeland.

If I do something that depresses, it's not because I'm depressed, but because political life and history is depressing.

What does the artist do? He draws connections. He ties the invisible threads between things. He dives into history, be it the history of mankind, the geological history of the Earth or the beginning and end of the manifest cosmos.
