I don__ believe in influence. I think that in order to be an artist, you have to move. When you stop moving, then you__e no longer an artist. And if you move from somebody else__ position, you simply cannot know the next step. I think that everyone is on his own line. I think that after you__e made one step, the next step reveals itself. I believe that you were born on this line. I don__ say that the actual footsteps were marked before you get to them, and I don__ say that change isn__ possible in your course. But I do believe we unfold out of ourselves, and we do what we are born to do sooner or later, anyway.
