Quote

I think all any artist or person wants to do is grow spiritually, emotionally, professionally and mentally.

I do not feel any artist can produce great art without putting great personality into it. It is always a piece of you that goes on the screen or the canvass.

If I had any humility I would be perfect.

I have seen humility in many of the finest leaders I have met the world over. And indeed, it is embodied in the warm, engaging and quintessentially successful spirit of Sir Richard Branson.

An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.

To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist.

I've achieved what every artist wants, which is that some of their work will outlive them.

I'm quite sure that all true professional artists, of every description, in all walks of life, whether their craft is painting, music, sculpture, medicine or anything, have one primary concern - mankind.

I think any artist is a perfectionist by their nature.
