"What I wanted to express very clearly and intensely was that the reason these people had to invent or imagine heroes and gods is pure fear. Fear of life and fear of death."
"I think that little by little I'll be able to solve my problems and survive."
"The most important thing for everyone in Gringolandia is to have ambition and become 'somebody,' and frankly, I don't have the least ambition to become anybody."
"The industrial part of Detroit is really the most interesting side, otherwise it’s like the rest of the United States, ugly and stupid."
