Celebrity doesn't have anything to do with art or craft. It's about being rich and thinking that you're better than everybody else.

What matters poverty? What matters anything to him who is enamoured of our art? Does he not carry in himself every joy and every beauty?

If you don't get noticed you don't have anything. You just have to be noticed but the art is in getting noticed naturally without screaming or without tricks.

How can anybody learn anything from an artwork when the piece of art only reflects the vanity of the artist and not reality?

Artists don't talk about art. Artists talk about work. If I have anything to say to young writers it's stop thinking of writing as art. Think of it as work.

Art is anything you can get away with.

I don't have anything to say about other people's art and their work.

I'm enamored with the art world. Anytime you look at anything that's considered artistic there's a commercial world around it: the ballet opera any kind of music. It can't exist without it.

The youth of an art is like the youth of anything else its most interesting period. When it has come to the knowledge of good and evil it is stronger but we care less about it.

I realised the bohemian life was not for me. I would look around at my friends living like starving artists and wonder 'Where's the art?' They weren't doing anything. And there was so much interesting stuff to do so much fun to be had... maybe I could even quit renting.
