Art lifts man from his personal life into the universal life.

Art is the uniting of the subjective with the objective, of nature with reason, of the unconscious with the conscious, and therefore art is the highest means of knowledge.

A real work of art destroys, in the consciousness of the receiver, the separation between himself and the artist.

Art is a microscope which the artist fixes on the secrets of his soul, and shows to people these secrets which are common to all.

By words one transmits thoughts to another, by means of art, one transmits feelings.

My focus is my art, and that's what I love to do. I have to be really passionate in order to do something. I've turned down many things that I just didn't believe in.
