Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.

Art is maybe a subversive activity. There is a certain rebellion when you are an artist at heart, even if only in the art of living.

Any form of art is a form of power; it has impact, it can affect change - it can not only move us, it makes us move.

I think all art is, by nature, intended to motivate society for change, and the only reason change doesn't happen is because within the target population, courage is lacking.

Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.

I think art is inherently nonviolent and it actually occupies your mind with creation rather than destruction.

Art is a liaison between some sort of deranged mentality and others who are not going through it.
