For art comes to you proposing frankly to give nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass, and simply for those moments' sake.

There can be nothing exclusive about substantial art. It comes directly out of the heart of the experience of life and thinking about life and living life.

It's kind of not about the quality of the art, as much as this is what I love doing and I'd have a worse time doing anything else. That's kind of as far as I think in terms of philosophy.

The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.

Art depends on luck and talent.

Art is a deception that creates real emotions - a lie that creates a truth. And when you give yourself over to that deception, it becomes magic.

Anything is an art if you do it at the level of an art.

Art to me is an anecdote of the spirit, and the only means of making concrete the purpose of its varied quickness and stillness.

Art is a way to express yourself and through that you can escape a bad situation.

Art is about the messy and marvelous business of coming to your senses - and also, to the senses of the world.
