“I have no explanation but I am interested in being alive. No, seriously, staying alive for an artist means to always be in an unknown part of himself. To be out of himself. The exhibition in Paris, the theme was transformation. Art is the big door but real life is a lot of small doors that you must pass through to create something new. You don’t always need to go far. If you are in the space station Mir and you need to fix something, you go outside, but not too far. If you travel too far you’ll die. Outer space is not human but you can visit. You need to be a little bit out there but you need to stay close to human.”
Starwatcher
I almost did the first computer-animated feature after that, it was called ‘Star Watcher,’ we had the story, we had the preparation done, we were ready to start. But it came apart; the company did not give us the approval. It was too far, the concept to do everything in computer animation. We were waiting, waiting, and then our producer died in a car accident. Everything collapsed. That was my third contribution to animation and my worst experience.”

"One day I'll bring to life
My wandering star
And I'll stray from known routes
Through forgotten paths
My sky will be open
My spirit liberated
I'll give to the world
The footprints of my steps
I'll eat the flowers
And drink the light
Fear no more
I'll be nothing but love
The shores of my life
Move away and draw closer
Becoming stars
That shine in the night"
