"Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it."

Your reputation is your most important currency—protect it fiercely.

The documenta must always surprise, always provoke.

I pay no attention whatever to anybody’s praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.

Every decision we make in extraction echoes for generations.
