Otto Dix

I will either be famous or infamous.

All art is exorcism. I paint dreams and visions too; the dreams and visions of my time. Painting is the effort to produce order; order in yourself. There is much chaos in me, much chaos in our time.

You know, if one paints someone's portrait, one should not know him if possible.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
