I think that the mythology of Van Gogh's life, and the beauty of his paintings, is unstoppable.

What makes people the world over stand in line for Van Gogh is not that they will see beautiful pictures but that in an indefinable way they will come away feeling better human beings. And that is exactly what Van Gogh hoped for.

I always liked the Van Gogh story because I was terribly involved in that.

I think that Van Gogh is really the ultimate crazy artist that we all think of.

'The Night Cafe' and 'The Starry Night' still emit such pathos, density, and intensity that they send shivers down the spine. Whether Van Gogh thought in color or felt with his intellect, the radical color, dynamic distortion, heart, soul, and part-by-part structure in these paintings make him a bridge to a new vision and the vision itself.

He has Van Gogh's ear for music.

I rage against Vincent van Gogh for needing to die at 37, after painting for only ten years.

We shot that in all the real places where Van Gogh worked.

It's only a few nutcases who do art for themselves, like Van Gogh.

Van Gogh never made a penny in his entire lifetime. He painted because it was his soul, his excitement. It was what aligned him with his Source of being. It's the same with me and writing.
