"People discuss my art and pretend to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it's simply necessary to love."

"Be true to yourself. Make each day a masterpiece. Help others. Drink deeply from good books. Make friendship a fine art. Build a shelter against a rainy day."

"It is with this movement, with the passage and dissolution of impressions, images, sensations, that analysis leaves off—that continual vanishing away, that strange, perpetual weaving and unweaving of ourselves."

"Just as music is noise that makes sense, a painting is colour that makes sense, so a story is life that makes sense."

"The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle."

"Man's naked form belongs to no particular moment in history; it is eternal, and can be looked upon with joy by the people of all ages."

"I know that your soul is on life support and that you feel lost and like you’re completely spinning out of control, but you’re finding yourself — here, tonight… even in this darkness."

"There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time."

"Is being burnt a requisite for the making of art? Personally, I don't think it is. But art is poultice for a burn. It is a privilege to have, somewhere within you, a capacity for making something speak from your own seared experience."

"Like poetry, fashion does not state anything. It merely suggests"

"I like art with a sense of humor. I don't have a huge art education to understand everything. I don't think that means that art has to be watered down to the lowest common denominator, though. I don't think you have to go to college to be able appreciate great art, but I like art that doesn't take itself too seriously."

"I view art as an inspirational tool."

"Oh! to shoot for the stars if feels right. Aim for my heart if it feels right."

"Whatever the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth -whether it existed before or not"

"Bring something incomprehensible into the world!"

"The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain."

"Our biological rhythms are the symphony of the cosmos, music embedded deep within us to which we dance, even when we can't name the tune."

"I'm quite obsessed with the idea of nailing the girl friendship. It's such an art, so delicate."

"If it weren't for greed, intolerance, hate, passion and murder, you would have no works of art, no great buildings, no medical science, no Mozart, no Van Gough, no Muppets and no Louis Armstrong."

"Let this time in your life cut you open and drain all of the things that are holding you back. I’m going to help you forgive the things that you won’t let yourself forget."
