• Empecé a sentir curiosidad por el arte. Leí sobre los dadaístas, los futuristas y los constructivistas, ese tipo de movimientos que reflejaban la angustia de la gente de su época. Sus obras intentaban liderar un movimiento. Empecé a pensar que lo que ocurría con la pintura en las calles y en los trenes era similar, pero que también procedía de un espacio real y puro. No lo creaban las academias. Era una combustión espontánea de ideas que simplemente sucedía.

It's the same with people who write, who make music, who draw, who make movies. Creative people tend to have all of those different avenues in them.
