“You don’t know how much artists go through to make it look so easy. It’s all in the practice.”

I get out, I get out of all your boxes.

I need to be surrounded by people as passionate and as dedicated as I am.

Be honest, brutally honest. That is what’s going to maintain relationships.

Nobody’s going to force me to do something against my will. What do I owe anybody that I should submit my will to them?

Never underestimate those who you scar.

Let me be patient, let me be kind, make me unselfish, without being blind, though I may suffer, I’ll envy it not and endure what comes cause he is all that I got.

We should constantly be aspiring to reach higher and higher and higher. We should never be comfortable where we are.

Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.

I think everything happens in time. There’s a time for everything. There’s a time to be in a group, and there’s a time to be solo.

Every day is a lesson in focus for me, and not buying into the world’s concept of what you have to be. I really try every day to be individual and not just in my style or my look or my music, but in my approach to life.

I was hopeless, now I’m on Hope Road.

What was freely given to me, I freely give.

Love is an incredible thing but we don’t know love like we should. Unconditional love we don’t know it because if a person stops stimulating us, we stop loving them.

You might win some, but you just lost one.

From the first time someone says, Who do you think you are? we learn how to repress.

Sometimes we all need to take time and give thanks.

Art is the sound of a human dying to be an immortal artist.

Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless.

If you cannot please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few. To please many is bad.

I wasn’t available to do the right things for my son. If not for the arts, my child would’ve been lost.

Art is the right hand of Nature. The latter has only given us being, the former has made us men.

Suddenly I’ve got an overwhelming desire to surround myself with the aura of classical and Romantic art.

Art is difficult, transient is her reward.

Movies are a collective art. Art by proxy.
