Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.

You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It's their mistake, not my failing.

We all know that a good person can be a bad artist.But no one will ever be a genuine artist unless he is a great human being and thus also a good one.

Authority is conferred by position, not character.

I never felt oppressed because of my gender. When I'm writing a poem or drawing, I'm not a female; I'm an artist.
