Who would you like to be for 1 day ?
Donald Trump. On that day I would hang myself leaving a note apologizing for all the insecurity driven decisionsI’ve made. I would go onto to explain that my final act of self annihilation was perhaps the first courageous thing I’ve done in my otherwise miserable existence.
Rembrandt or Mondriaan and why ?
Mondriaan. Primarily because Mondriaan wasn’t interested in the representations of things. He was investigating composition and color and balance within a 2 dimensional plane.

Unwavering indifference

When is the last time you had to cry ?
Honestly? My mother came to an opening of an exhibition did in Paris. It was the first exhibition of mine she’d ever seen and she told me she was proud of me. When I got home that night and it was quiet I was really touched.

Staying out of the United States as much as possible
