  • 2. While I had often said that I wanted to die in bed what I really meant was that in my old age I wanted to be stepped on by an elephant while making love.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?
  • 3. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture is the art of how to waste space.
  • 2. I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people real street scenes behind the curtain scenes live models paintings photographs staged setups architecture grids graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.
  • 3. Italy is full of historical buildings. And Europe holds a great history of philosophy from Greece until today. I read all those books and see these buildings and I think of where I stand when I design my architecture.
