An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.
