There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
生活中只有两种悲剧：一个是没有得到我们想要的，另外一个是得到我们想要的。
1985年2月的一次演讲时所说
我不在乎名声，我在乎艺术。
Innovation happens when tradition meets bold thinking.
I believe in art that is generous rather than exclusive.
I start early and I stay late, day after day, year after year. It took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success.
I would argue that passion is more important than brainpower.
人类本性中最深层的原则是渴望被欣赏。
在爱情方面，我是个无可救药的浪漫主义者和充满激情的人。
