“Your decision to be, have and do something out of ordinary entails facing
difficulties that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is

“the way to create art is to burn and destroy
ordinary concepts and to substitute them

and out of the heart”

“You'll turn out ordinary if you're not careful.”
