“collage = reality”

“They learned to hate her unknowability, her untouchability, the collage of her.”

“I’ve got lots of pictures of the four years I spent in collage.”

“I believe you need to be educated on what you want to do in life, but I don't believe you necessarily need collage to get there.”

“Changing the big picture takes time.. and the best things to do is focus on the things that we can make in our lives if we're doing all that. That becomes the collage of real change”

“Reality has always attracted me like a magnet, tortured and hypnotized me, and I wanted to capture it on paper. So I immediately appropriated this genre of actual human voices and confessions, witness evidences and documents. This is how I hear and see the world—as a chorus of individual voices and a collage of everyday details. In this way all my mental and emotional potential is realized to the full. In this way I can be simultaneously a writer, reporter, sociologist, psychologist and preacher.”
