“The more you throw black into a color, the more dreamy it gets…Black has depth. It’s like a little egress, you can go into it, and because it keeps continuing to be dark, the mind kicks in, and a lot of things that are going on there become manifest. And you start seeing what you’re afraid of. You start seeing what you love and it becomes like a dream.”

“To take things easy, not to fight against the ebb and flow of life, but to give way to it—that was what needed. It was this tension that was all wrong. To live—to live!”

“Longing, how soft a word for such a ravenous feeling. How we hunger in silence.”

“The nature of erotic things is secrecy, otherwise they lose their spell.”
