“Art doesn't always mirror life and life's hard sometimes.”

“It's the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.”

“If art reflects life, it does so with special mirrors.”

“Just because life is hard, and always ends in a bad way, doesn't mean that all stories have to”

“Sometimes life is too hard to be alone, and sometimes life is too good to be alone.”

“This is Art holding a Mirror up to Life. That’s why everything is exactly the wrong way around.”

“It's a hard life sometimes and the biggest temptation is to let how hard it is be an excuse to weaken”

“Life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television.”

“In the haunted house of life, art is the only stair that doesn't creak.”

“It is hard work and great art to make life not so serious.”
