"All my works are actually my internal self-portrait. They are dialogues with myself. As for the source of the images, they are reminiscences of my own childhood in the process of the self-dialogues. At that time, I did not read difficult books or study hard, so that is the time when I could express my thoughts and feelings from the most inner of my heart."

――Yoshitomo Nara
