“The chief enemy of creativity is ‘good’ sense.”

Everything you can imagine is real.

A painting only lives in the eye of the beholder.

What one does is what counts. Not what one had the intention of doing.

The people who make art their business are mostly imposters.

Reality is to be found in lightness and darkness.

Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.

The world doesn’t make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?

It takes a long time to become young.

An artist must forget painting when he paints. That’s the only way he will do original work.

Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.

I have never made radically different experiments. Whenever I wanted to say something, I said it the way I believed I should.

I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

While I am working I am not conscious of what I am putting on the canvas.

Lord, protect me from what I want!

Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.

God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style, He just goes on trying other things.

I always had faith in my creative capacity.

Don’t try too hard to make your galaxy shine in front of everyone, not every star shines from the other galaxy.

Whatever you do in life, approach it with creativity.

My mental space is when I get to a place of creativity, and I can just be myself while I am writing and connecting with the material.

Washing your face is self-love, brushing your hair is self-love, playing with makeup to dress up, or be creative, is self-love. If you did anything for yourself today, I’m proud of you.

I think that all creative people are a little bit nuts.

Exercising the imagination, experimenting with talents, being creative; these things, to me, are truly the windows to your soul.

The creative writer does the same as the child at play; he creates a world of fantasy which he takes very seriously.
