The act of expressing oneself is a physical one. It materializes the thought.

Everything is in constant flux, from state to state, from good to bad and back again... only in transmutation, perpetual motion, lies truth.

A creative train of thought is set off by: the unexpected, the unknown, the accidental, the disorderly, the absurd, the impossible.

We are not disillusioned because we have no illusions... What we have and what is our strength, is our joy in life... in all its amoral aspects. That is also the basis of our contemporary art.

Beautiful, ugly, impressive, disgusting, meaningless, grim, contradictory etc … It makes no difference, as long as it is life, vigorously pouring forth.

We are sparks that must glow as brightly as possible.

To break and be able to grow together again in a better way: that is the difficult art.

The significance of something lies in its presence here and now. I don't care what it has been or what it will become. It is the experience of things that matters, the confrontation with things.

Being an artist is being an isolated individual.

To make the material speak to man in the name of man, this is the aim and reality of art.

The artist's interest cannot be restricted to a single field; he must seek the highest perception of everything, of the whole and its details.

If this world always made sense and there wasn't the gloomy dark nights that awakened your soul, you would never grow ~ you would never become, nor seek greater version of yourself.

I do use an electric violin. Actually, my regular electric violin, which I sometimes use, is by Ned Steinburger.

To be calm when you've found something going on

All abstract sciences are nothing but the study of relations between signs.

I believe every young women needs to know that though you may have to struggle and strive to achieve your dreams, you can have oodles of fun along the way.

When you are required to exhibit strength, it comes.

Racial distinctions should not play a role in sport.

I like some of the oversized silhouettes. It's a nice change and exudes ease. Also like the upmarket street wear. It's fashion that reaches people where they live but looks polished.

I don't have a schedule, but I can write for hours non-stop. If I'm drafting a book, I try and do a chapter a day. I dislike first drafts. Revision is a lot more fun, but it takes years.
