I think the most interesting parts of human experience might be the sparks that come from that sort of chipping flint of cultures rubbing against each other. And living on the border between Mexico and the U.S. for so many years gave me a lot of insight into that.

The human relationship to combustion is as mysterious as it is fraught with madness. From the candle flame to the nuclear blast, it has lit up the human imagination with fear and fascination.

I became almost immediately fascinated by the possibilities of trying out all conceivable reactions with them, some leading to explosions, others to unbearable poisoning of the air in our house, frightening my parents.

I find humans tremendously interesting.

It's exciting to think that something I'm involved in is touching so many people in so many cultures.

I never struggled with trying to figure out what it was I wanted to do or what made the sparks go for me.

I have always been intrigued by these lives I have never experienced.

Everywhere I go I see increasing evidence of people swirling about in a human cesspit of their own making.

We have our insides and our outsides, and I find the struggles between the two, as well as the occasions of harmony between the two, fascinating.

I have always had a fascination about what's inside a human being.
