I want to be able, as days go by, always to look myself straight in the eye.

Don't be afraid to have a big vision, but make sure it's a clear one.

I'm blind in my left eye. Contrary to what people say, it is not a glass eye, so I have to protect my eyes at all cost.

Sticking with your vision and what you believe in is so, so important.

I had a vision with which I might have saved my people, but I had not the strength to do it.

When I use my strength in the service of my vision it makes no difference whether or not I am afraid.

When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.

Just keep on going and keep believing in your own original vision, no matter what odds you have to overcome. And especially don't be stopped by your own fears.

You're supposed to be a control freak when you're an artist. That's the whole point of having a vision: Why have one if you're not going to protect it?

It's important to be true to yourself and your vision.
