When there's writing that you really trust it's very freeing as an artist.

People shouldn't trust artists and they shouldn't trust art. Part of the fun of art is that it invites you to interpret it.

To some extent I happily don't know what I'm doing. I feel that it's an artist's responsibility to trust that.

Never trust the artist. Trust the tale. The proper function of the critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it.

When you're an artist there's always a moment in your life when you think you're not inspired and instead of doing things and instead of travel and instead of falling in love you're just depressed so you don't move so you don't change. So you're not inspired.

There are so many things I want to do. Like I want to get an artist a musician a photographer and a bunch of dancers that I know and just travel across Africa and just film it and just see what happens. Do and learn as much as I possibly can. Luckily I have a lot more time.

Of all possible subjects travel is the most difficult for an artist as it is the easiest for a journalist.

The man who never in his mind and thoughts travel'd to heaven is no artist.

I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

I passionately hate the idea of being with it I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
