Humour has always been a self-defence mechanism for me.

Don't waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window- or break down a door.

It was my mom and I against the world. We lived in New York in this bohemian lifestyle where an extended group of artists and photographers were like my aunts and uncles.

Those who are weak, never suck the blood of the enemy, as it is to be done with strength.

Firstly, people take for granted that the E.U. has created the biggest economic space in the world.

Photography freed painting from a lot of tiresome chores, starting with family portraits.

It's important not to ditch your mates when you're in a relationship. Lots of girls do it, but you need to remember they will always be there for you.

I'm almost completely deaf anyway. So I'm worried. I'm very worried.
