A work of art comes only from inside a human being.

Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye... it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.

From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.

No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love.

What is art? Art grows from joy and sorrow, but mostly from sorrow. It grows from human lives.

I don’t believe in an art that is not born out of man’s need to open his heart.

All art, literature, and music must be born in your heart's blood. Art is your heart's blood.

There is a battle that goes on between men and women. Many people call it love.

The viewers must come to understand the sacredness of painting, so they will remove their hats as if they were in church.

Oil-painting is a developed technique. Why go backwards?

I do not believe in the art which is not the compulsive result of man's urge to open his heart

It is unbelievable the amount of hate the human body can sustain before it begins to break.

You were abducted by space aliens. Of course you want egg rolls.

Those who believe that politics and religion do not mix, understand neither.

Don't give up, what've you do; eyes front, head high to the finish. See it through!

When you become tired of fitting in, is when you truly become yourself

It is only through the holes in our soul that we break out and God breaks through.

Once you conquer your selfish self, all your darkness will change to light.

If you hold back in hurdles, you are going to fall over.

My real training as an actor was when I started doing theatre.

The power of the individual is as powerful as the universe is infinite.
