Quotes

  • I am an anarchist and an individualist. I don't like to be associated with stereotypes. I prefer not to be defined, to keep my field of action as open as possible. I don't even completely know myself! It's fundamental to maintain a certain lack of self-knowledge and to keep on discovering things about yourself. It would be terrible to completely know oneself.
