"I consider fiction a very high-class form of lying. I enjoy and admire it enormously, but I don't think I'm very good at it."

I did not always trust my teachers, because I found them too weak. I was looking for something that could take me in a new direction, for things that I could admire. And because it was so hard to find this, I became a sort of outsider. That's why I began to identify with the insane, "outsider" artists.
