Quote

When God created you, He went to great lengths to make you exactly the way He wanted you to be. You are His ultimate work of art.

If it is the mark of the artist to love art before everything, to renounce everything for its sake, to think all the sweet human things of life well lost if only he may attain something, do some good, great work - then I was never an artist.

One of my first dreams when I was a child was becoming a painter.

It was not my dream to be an artist. How could it have been? I thought, artist, much like a leader, was something you either were or weren't. Never something you set out to be.

An artist is he for whom the goal and center of life is to form his mind.

I can look at you and say, 'I'm gonna be the biggest artist in the world' because, at the end of the day, it's about the trust I have in God. He's already shown me that I'm gonna fulfil my destiny.

As an artist, you're always going to be yearning and wanting and never satisfied. I never feel like I've really achieved something.

When I was quite young, I dreamed of being a painter.

You know, you become an artist, you become an observer, of life, and you digest life by making art about it.
