Art is the daughter of freedom.

Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

Our work is a scream of freedom.

That's the very definition of freedom: to be allowed to develop our own creative potential to the fullest. But it doesn't have to be in the arts, obviously. In my case, I gravitated toward the arts.

Art gives me the freedom I don't have when I make music.

I believe that art has been a vehicle for me that's been about enlightenment and expanding my own parameters, to give me courage to exercise the freedom that I have in life.

Art is the job of the privileged.

I've been very lucky in the freedom that I've been given. Every artist needs two types of freedom: You need the freedom to - the freedom to come up with an idea or treatment - and then you need the other half of the freedom, and that's freedom from - somebody saying, 'This is great. This is how I want you to do it.'

To create a work of art is to create the world.

A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist's world.
