Many outsiders see the art world as elitist and it is, except it is also oddly down-to-earth and embracing of oddballs who don't fit in well anywhere else.

I'm an atheist, but I believe in art. I go to galleries like my mother went to church. It helps me understand the way I live.

When people ask me what it is that I want to achieve in life, I always tell them that I want to be able to make positive change in spite of all the issues that the world faces today.

It's completely okay to sediment and live a life on the base of the earth and not up high.--Like the pearls of sea found in its bottom, the pearls of life are also found in the niches of ground.

Every creature is a living instruction that runs the algorithm of nature.

I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.

As I look around the West End these days, it seems to me that outside every thin girl is a fat man, trying to get in.

I don't only like rap music. There's everything from R&B to crazy gangster rap, hip hop... everything! But it all blends together nicely. It's like a magical music rainbow.

I dont think you can look for love. All you can do is get yourself in a situation where you dont discourage something that may be rather nice.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

I'm just very interested in what my guests have to say. You have to be vigilant to stay ignorant.
