The only tip I have for an artist is perseverance... Never give up.

Do what you love. It’s going to lead to where you want to go.

Almost all Iraqis with any previous experience in the intelligence business are Sunni Arab, increasing the risk of penetration of the new intelligence apparatus by the insurgency.

But I think frustration is hilarious. One of my missions is to bring humor into fine art. It's sacred.

I throw dignity out the window, and just become a creature of the moment on the stage. I act like I'd never act in real life.

If they make the deadline because the Shiites and Kurds essentially rammed a draft through over Sunni Arab objections, there will be hell to pay.

I hate people who act too cool for school. Just own up to it, dude.

The written word is the only anchor we have in life. How extraordinary would it be if we had even three or four paragraphs written honestly about their lives by our ancestors?

It's about communication, no matter how impossibly hard your art is to understand and how much of an ivory tower or high horse you get on, it's still basically communication or why are you doing it?

It would be really embarrassing to introduce yourself as somebody who makes beauty.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no line between high art and pop art, and there should be no line.

Forgiveness is the fastest way to a spiritual path and inner peace of mind

Because people heal a whole lot faster when they're with someone who loves them

Sometimes we get caught up in trying to glorify God by praising what He can do and we lose sight of the practical point of what He actually does do.

I'd love there to be more larger models, but it's just not going to happen. Designers love to design for slim girls.

Every Indian outbreak that I have ever known has resulted from broken promises and broken treaties by the government.

In the world I am Always a stranger I do not understand its language It does not understand my silence

If a spiritual teacher says something that doesn't make sense to you, you should always listen to yourself and not the teacher. A little common sense would end all cults.

Each increase of tension has produced an increase of arms; each increase of arms has produced an increase of tension.

Every fancy that we would substitute for a reality is, if we saw aright, and saw the whole, not only false, but every way less beautiful and excellent than that which we sacrifice to it.

I don't ever blink, honestly.
