Most people try to avoid cliches. It's my ambition in life to try to get 'em right!
I love art, but not in a cliched, luvvie way.
Cliches are cliches because they are true.

Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague.

If contemporary artists sincerely seek to be original, unique, and new, they should begin by disregarding the notions of originality, individuality, and innovation: they are the cliches of our time.
