我不是创作关于死亡的艺术，而是创作关于生命的艺术。

There are no mistakes in art, only unexpected discoveries.

I'm not a politician, I'm an artist. And the artist's job is to be a mirror, not a leader.

The Soviet Union was a civilization of fear, where people lived in constant dread of the knock on the door at night.

人生的吉福与凶祸，是上天主宰的；人事的毁誉和予夺，是别人操持的；自身的言行和道德，是由我决定的。
