“My voice is the only material thing in which I can still reveal myself. Go ahead and cut off the hand or the testicles of a voice.”

Try to find the head of a voice, the orifice through which it passes, or even the breasts to which you can attach the clips of your electrodes. Nothing. Resonant tooth.

In ourselves we harbor the intuition of another evolution, of other possibilities of life.

Without anyone laughing at the giant’s wings and the dwarf’s legs that impede my gait.

A money-financed tax cut is essentially equivalent to Milton Friedman’s famous ‘helicopter drop’ of money.

I love the process of cutting everything out with a scalpel yourself: I don’t want to have my stencils drawn up in Illustrator, then laser-cut. I like the fact that it’s slightly wrong.
