"I don't particularly like the word 'genius.' I don't think it applies to me."

"The days were so full of what I was doing and what I was seeing that I didn't think about anything else."

"I have always been interested in the starkness. The way it reveals the essence."

"I have been so busy getting ready to be famous that I haven't had time to be famous."

"I have lived a very long time, and I have seen many things."
