Magic is logic.

… an artist should paint from the heart, and not always what people expect. Predictability often leads to the dullest work, in my opinion, and we have been bored stiff long enough I think.

Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.

A lot of artists have really been supportive over the years.

The loner who looks fabulous is one of the most vulnerable loners of all.

I love you, Lucien, but I am a muse, you are an artist, I am not here to make you comfortable.

I would rather be an artist than a leader. Ironically, a leader has to follow the rules.

The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us. Let us spend our lives in conceiving then. The poet or the artist never...

And if we must educate our poets and artists in science, we must educate our masters, labour and capital, in art.

For the true artist, there is no trivial thing.

You can’t force creatives into a box. If you try, they’ll no longer be creative. And no one will want your box.

Through the years, I have learned there is no harm in charging oneself up with delusions between moments of valid inspiration.

Nevertheless, what was made in the hope of transforming the world need not be rejected because it failed to do so – otherwise, one would also have to throw out a good deal of the...

Look, I don’t see why bad artists – I mean artists who are obviously incompetent… – why they should be presented hypocritically as good artists just because they’re supposed to be advancing the frontiers of...

I think a lot of Indians want Indian artists to be cultural cheerleaders rather than cultural investigators.

Artists are dishonest creatures really. They foist their version of reality upon us while making it all up. Writers, painters, musicians, auteurs—they’re all the same.

Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.

You can’t make a fan of everyone. Stay true to your story, characters, music, art or whatever it is you do and fuck everyone else who doesn’t like it. Life isn’t perfect.
