I think every artist should follow their vision, their hearts is what they need to reveal, not something that society is looking out for.

There are two kinds of artists in this world; those that work because the spirit is in them, and they cannot be silent if they would, and those that speak from a conscientious desire to make apparent to others the beauty that has awakened their own admiration.

Everybody is bound by some social rules. But I think that artists need some kind of freedom to explore their minds and that some of them tend to take that freedom to live a little more openly or a little more dangerously, sometimes a lot more self-destructively, than other people.

The product of the artist has become less important than the fact of the artist. We wish to absorb this person. We wish to devour someone who has experienced the tragic. In our society this person is much more important than anything he might create.

I suppose I see myself as a modern soul artist.

Artists change how we see the world - and that can have value in the way people do business.

I suppose an artist takes the elements of his life and rearranges them and then has them perceived by others as though they were the elements of their lives.
