“It would bother me if my canvases were stretched onto a frame. I never know in advance what dimensions I am going to choose.”

“I am not bothered by the fact that I am not understood. I am bothered when I do not know others.”

“Perhaps it's done already, perhaps they have said me already, perhaps they have carried me to the threshold of my story, before the door that opens on my story, that would surprise me, if it opens, it will be I, it will be the silence, where I am, I don't know, I'll never know, in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on.”

“My choice is what I choose to do.
And if I'm causing no harm
It shouldn't bother you.
Your choice is who you choose to be.
And if your causin' no harm
Then you're alright with me.”

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”

“I see my path, but I don’t know where it leads. Not knowing where I am going is what inspires me to travel it.”

“I am going to keep my mind (well, what's left of it) occupied by doing (and I never thought the day would come when I would say this) my homework.”

“I am anything I wish to be. The world cannot choose for me. No, it is for me to choose what the world shall be.”

“People all over the world
Are the same everywhere I go,
I give in to this, I give in to that,
Every day it bothers me so,
Am I in a bad situation?
People taking me to the extreme,
Am I being used? I just need a clue,
I don't know which way to go.”

“'The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.' That's from Emerson, by the way. All I was hoping to do is stretch some goddamn minds.”
