I didn't want to be like everybody else. Art was my religion.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The art world was not initially really accepting my kind of work. I was ahead of my time.
Art was a way for me to express myself and for me to also escape because it was tough growing up as a child. We didn't have a lot of money. I was always creating. I was writing stories. I was doing comic books. I made my own universe.
My life is art. Its how I express God.
I love art and I think I was destined to end up in some aspect of the arts.
I was a very shy kid and really into art.
Art and literature are my surrogate religions.
Seriously, I wanted to be an artist because I saw that it meant endless possibilities. I came from a badly managed family background, so art was a way of reinventing myself.
I don't want life to imitate art. I want life to be art.
Art never seems to make me peaceful or pure.
All art stems from a place of alienation. Intimate and alone. Most people are oppressed by the opinion of others, but I was not that way. I was afraid of the repercussions of not doing what I was told to do, what I was called to do by a creator.
