I'm very hard on the art world just being a big business.

Trust that little voice in your head that says 'Wouldn't it be interesting if...'; And then do it.

I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.

I am an expressionist and by that I mean that I'm not a photographer or a writer or a painter or a tap dancer, but rather someone who expresses himself according to his needs.

Don’t try to be an artist. Find the thing within you that needs to be expressed. You might find it is art.

Even in the deepest love relationship - when lovers say 'I love you' to each other - we don't really know what we're saying, because language isn't equal to the complexity of human emotions.

Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.

All good work has magic in it, and addresses the mind in a subtle way.

Never, never have a famous partner. It's too complicated.

There are many things I can do, but I have to narrow it down to the one thing I must do. The secret of concentration is elimination.

A girl's best friend is her mutter.

Also in Norah Jones, now there's a voice that sounds and I don't mean disrespect but sounds a hundred years old that sounds incredibly experienced. It's just an exciting time.

Nothing wrong with people getting shot, as long as it's the right people getting shot.

I'm not denying that he's a terrific guy, but I'm not sure he's terrific for me.

Shakespeare's name, you may depend on it, stands absurdly too high and will go down.

To be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile.

Read widely of others' experiences, even if it'd be more comfortable to snuggle back in the comforting cotton-wool of blissful ignorance.

Failure make people bitter and cruel. Success improves the character of the man.
