I love what Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh and Jesus all said - that love is really the driving principle of the creative act. In fact, they would say that great art is always inspired by love.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am not really into paintings, to be honest, but for me, the art I love is when I see singers putting their heart into their song, actors giving the performance of their lives, and books and movies that make me feel something I never thought I could; there's art in everything as long as it's made with soul.
Someone asked me a while back, 'Why do artists always write about love?' And I was like, 'Love is the coolest thing that's ever happened in the world.'
The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.
I think the great artists, especially in literature, have always thought with the heart.
The best thing about art is that it is the one luxury in life that can be enjoyed by everyone. And it lasts forever.
It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance... and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.
I'm very happy to hear that my work inspires writers and painters. It's the most beautiful compliment, the greatest reward. Art should always be an exchange.
Great art inspires great art.
I love art, and it plays a huge role in my life. It's definitely one of my greatest joys, and I'm a bit fanatical about certain painters and poets and musicians and sculptors.
In art as in love, instinct is enough.
