Most artists try to avoid cliches, but it's pretty hard to avoid them if you yourself end up being one.

What makes art in general, and literature in particular, remarkable, what distinguishes them from life, is precisely that they abhor repetition. In everyday life, you can tell the same joke thrice and, thrice getting a laugh, become the life of the party. In art, though, this sort of conduct is called 'cliche.'

For me, art has to have two things to really blow me away: a strong concept and drama.

I refuse to confide and don't like it when people write about art.

I love all kinds of art. I mean, I love sketching and acting and music.

All art to me is an empathetic act. Whoever's telling a story is trying to transfer emotion into someone else.

Art was always for me an escape and a way to relate to the world around me.

The best thing about art is that it is the one luxury in life that can be enjoyed by everyone. And it lasts forever.
