“Art and love are the same thing: It’s the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you.”

“Sex and art are the same thing.”

“The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see.”

“When you fall in love, the natural thing to do is give yourself to it.”

“Do what you will. Even if you tear yourself apart, most people will continue doing the same things.”

“There is no such thing as abstract art, or else all art is abstract, which amounts to the same thing. Abstract art no more exists than does curved art yellow art or green art.”

“Love means to look at yourself
The way one looks at distant things
For you are only one thing among many.”

“Spend your time doing things you love, surround yourself with the right people and constantly explore new things.”

“No matter how bad things get, you can always see the beauty in them. The worse things get, the more you have to make yourself see the magic in order to survive.”

“One doesn't look at the quality of work, they see how much it fetches, how it earns. That's a sad thing. Money is not the criteria of art. Art or love is not a question of money. One should percieve these things at a different level.”
