Usually when I go to a place for the first time, unless there's something historical or spectacular that nature has to offer, the first thing I like to do is see what's on the minds of the people.

People have the power to redeem the work of fools.

I just like living in certain atmospheres. Or I just like people as they are.

I'm more concerned with the work people do than their gender. When I was younger, I was pretty judgmental. Things had to be a certain way. Now I just want to see the work. It doesn't matter who does it.

I learned a lot from Arthur Rimbaud. People talk about how he wanted to be a seer and do that through the derangement of the senses. What they forget was that he also advocated, sternly and austerely, that one must be able to go through all that - and then articulate it.

I'm a worker. I do the work to communicate, and I want people to embrace it, and when they do I'm happy.

People like beauty and purity. They pretend that's what it's all about.

I liked being on stage, I just didn't like the theatrical aspect of being in front of people.
