Create with the heart; build with the mind.

I'm often painted as the bad guy, and the artistic part of me wants to hand out the brush.

The ones who constantly make us laugh are the hardest of friends to know - for comedians are the caricatures among us.

By far, the hardest part regarding a work of art, apart from the start, is knowing precisely when to stop...It's growing up, finding that most glowing and top spot, ascending to where its highest peak is reached...before descending for the deepest, darkest drop.

Even though artists of all kinds claim to put their hearts and souls into their works, it will only confuse you, for example, if you try to discern a painter by his paintings. His masterpiece may be the master because of its iridescence; it may display a hundred different perspectives through his single face.

This is almost always the case: A piece of art receives its f(r)ame when found offensive.

Controversy is a last resort for the talentless.

The most mesmerizing of artists is always like one who was merely drawing in the sand and people came to watch.

I will admit that we as young rebels always wanted fundamentalists to understand our take on their religion, but rarely, if ever, the other way around. The fundamentalists are the real artists. If you saw only a masterpiece of an original painting and someone threw a splash of red across it saying that their version is better, you would be offended too.
