It is the artist who is truthful and it is photography which lies, for in reality time does not stop

The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live. Be a man before being an artist!

Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.

Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated.

The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation.

The more simple we are, the more complete we become.

The work of art is already within the block of marble. I just chop off whatever isn't needed.

Patience is also a form of action.

Love your calling with passion, it is the meaning of your life.

The human body is first and foremost a mirror to the soul and its greatest beauty comes from that.

Art is the pleasure of a spirit that enters nature and discovers that it too has a soul.

Less is less. Heartbreak is heartbreak. You think I'm sitting here gloating. Telling myself that my suffering beats yours? Hurt is hurt. You don't measure these things.

Don't let where you are in life to cause you to be so insecure about yourself. There is more to you than your flaws and negative conditions. You are a royal child of God.

If we just wanted positive emotions, our species would have died out a long time ago.

My advice to first time filmmakers is believe in yourself and the message you want to give in the film you are making.

The manner of your speaking is full as important as the matter, as more people have ears to be tickled than understandings to judge.

I write to the beat and let life play the guitar strings

People have a right to their opinion.

In the tale, in the telling, we are all one blood.

You're dealing with a lot of silly people in the marketplace; it's like a great big casino and everyone else is boozing. If you can stick with Pepsi, you should be OK.
