“Truth doesn't sell, lies do, complexity does. But here's the thing. Lies sell in the guise of higher truth. That's why "love thy neighbor" is not a simple way of life, but an entire messed up institutionalized indoctrinating religion. Because if you forget all those frivolous dogmas, doctrines and stories, and simply embrace love thy neighbor as the supreme way of life, religious leaders won't have anything to sell you, and when they have nothing to sell you, they won't have any control over you.”

“The Jesus portrayed in the United States, Europe and many other parts of the world is, quite ironically, a homosexual Jesus from the Renaissance, because that's what Da Vinci and Michaelangelo, both gays, loved to paint in the churches. People often claim that there is no proof of this but how could there be any concrete proof? First of all, being a homosexual could get you to be burned alive in a public square, and second, only the Vatican would offer jobs to artists. So imagine having to work for a boss you hate and at the same time, while being afraid he knows about your personal life and kills you. The mental pressure of these artists must have been brutal, which is why they compensated for it by hiding meanings inside their art, and just as many musicians and other artists do today when they want to tell you something that can end their career. And what a greater way to take a piss at the Vatican than that of painting Jesus as the men they loved? That's exactly what they did. Today, christians worship gay men while Da Vinci and Michaelangelo are still laughing somewhere. Because that's what great artists do, they laugh at the dogmas of society.”

“En 1947, la pile électrique et le transistor, innovations capitales, rendent portables la radio et le tourne-disque. Révolution majeure, car elles permettent au jeunes de danser hors des bals, donc hors de la présence des parents, libérant la sexualité, ouvrant à toutes nouvelles musiques, du jazz au rock, annonçant l'entrée des jeunes dans l'univers de la consommation, du désir, de la révolte.”

“Le sonore est un art de la durée. Donc du mouvement et de l'émotion : c'est la même racine. Tu te fonds dans un flux, tu nages en pleine rivière. Tu accompagnes la métamorphose progressive des sons, tu les épouses. Tu deviens en même temps que ce que tu écoutes. L'optique par contre est un art de l'espace. À mes yeux. Ça consiste à fixer et à figer le monde à l'instant t. On se tient dans le froid, le spéculaire, la distance, la maîtrise. Et quand ça bouge, on est dans le contrôle. On checke des coordonnées, des trajectoires, des vecteurs. L'optique relève pour moi du pouvoir. Profondément.”
