"I don't want to be a symbol. I want to be a painter."

"I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life – and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do."

"I have always been interested in the things that are not heard."

"Singing has always seemed to me a very foolish thing to do. I like to keep my mouth shut."

"I have always been interested in the emptiness. The way it can be full."
