There comes a time as an artist, can't follow the crowd. You have to do YOU, and make the crowd follow you.

The worst evil which can befall the artist is that his work should appear good in his own eyes.

The artist sees what others only catch a glimpse of.

An artist's studio should be a small space because small rooms discipline the mind and large ones distract it.

I leave the genre labeling to other people. I really do. If I were to think too hard about it, that would stifle you creatively. If you think too hard about who other people want you to be as an artist, it stops you from being who you want to be as an artist.

It's sort of like my past is an unfinished painting, and as the artist of that painting, I must fill in all the ugly holes and make it beautiful again.
