I'm not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well. More important than that, I feel an endless need to learn, to improve, to evolve.

音乐是我的生命，生命是我的音乐。

我绝不会再像以前一样，把命运加给我们的一点儿不幸拿来反复咀嚼(念念不忘)；我要享受现时，过去的事就让它过去吧。

人类无法长期生活在空虚状态中：如果他不是朝着某个方向成长，他不仅会停滞不前，被压抑的潜能会变成病态和绝望，最终转化为破坏性行为。

"My paintings are my children, each with its own soul."

骄矜自大，独断专行，招祸之源。

The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, an almost fanatical love of justice, and the desire for personal independence—these are the features of the Jewish tradition which make me thank my stars that I belong to it.
