“I am always looking for inspiration. I always live in big cities where I can go every day to a museum, see a lecture, meet people that are artists, go to the cinema. For me, it's like food.

But it's real life that inspires me - when I meet somebody, when I see something.”

“Every woman becomes their mother. That's their tragedy. And no man becomes his. That's his tragedy.”

“The argument that 'boys will be boys' actually carries the profoundly anti-male implication that we should expect bad behavior from boys and men. The assumption is that they are somehow not capable of acting appropriately, or treating girls and women with respect.”
