Same thing with Goya, the Black Nightmares, touches me to the core.
How do you rate yourself compared to them?
I do not compare myself, but I know I'm not alone anymore.
It's this profound feeling that I have brothers out there, and I don't care whether they are much greater than I am.
It doesn't matter.
But there's a brotherhood out there, somebody who reassures me of everything and makes every toil, every labor, every disappointment, everything worthwhile.
We do not know what truth is.
Philosophers do not know.
2,000 philosophers in a survey couldn't give a clear answer.
Nobody has it.
But I know it's a quest that is human.
A voyage, an expedition, hardship, a search.
But we must not abandon this search, even though we never will exactly know what truth is.
It has to do with art per se.
I think every artist...
sooner or later is confronted with the question of truth.
It comes inevitably at you.
Filmmaker, painter, writer, poet, it doesn't matter.
It will come at you.
I've always seen the deepest insights, the deepest illumination, when it was not only carried by facts.
